Multilogin desktop app FAQ
The Multilogin desktop app and web interface use the same account and keep workspace changes synced. The main difference is profile launching – the desktop app has a built-in launcher, while the web interface uses the legacy agent when it needs to launch profiles.
Both interfaces support Multilogin’s mobile and web workflows, including Android cloud phones and browser profiles.
Is the functionality the same between the web version and desktop app?
Yes, both versions offer the same features. You can create, manage, and start browser profiles in both. The main difference? The desktop app has a built-in launcher, so you don’t need to manually connect the agent each time.
Can I use both the web and desktop versions of Multilogin at the same time?
Absolutely! The desktop and web versions stay synced in real time. You can switch between them without losing any progress or data. When doing so, keep the legacy agent disconnected.
Do I need to create a new account to use the Multilogin desktop app?
Nope! Your Multilogin account works for both the web and desktop versions. Just sign in with your existing credentials, and you'll have all your profiles and settings ready to go.
Will my profiles sync between the web and desktop versions?
Yes, your profiles sync automatically! Any changes you make in one version (like creating, editing, or deleting profiles) will immediately reflect in the other.
Do I need to manually start the agent on the desktop app like I do in the web version?
No – one of the great features of the Multilogin desktop app is that it has a built-in launcher that automatically starts the agent when you open the app. This means you no longer need to manually connect the agent every time you want to start profiles.
Can I use Android cloud phones in both the web interface and desktop app?
Yes. You can start and manage Android cloud phones from either interface. The web interface may require the local agent for display or launch-related functions, while the desktop app includes the required local components.
