Motiff desktop app

The Motiff desktop app can open the workspace and files in Motiff, which gives you access to the same features as opening Motiff in a browser.

Compared with using Motiff in a browser, the desktop app has the following differences:

  • The desktop app can access fonts on the device without the need to install font plugins.
  • The desktop app operates on a Chrome base, which eliminates concerns about browser compatibility issues.

Open workspace and files

Opening a workspace or file will open a tab in the navigation bar of the desktop app. You can distinguish between different types of tabs based on their icons.

If a file name starts with an emoji, the tab icon will display that emoji at the beginning instead of the default icon.
