Download Nox for Windows

Nox for Windows is a desktop app for Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit). It opens the same Nox you use in the browser in its own window — same account, same conversations, same safety layer — with a Start menu and desktop shortcut instead of a browser tab.

Version 1.1.0 — Windows 10 & 11 · 64-bit · free download.

Download: Nox-Setup-1.1.0-x64.exe

What the desktop app does

• Sign in with your existing account — The same sign-in as the website. Your plan, usage allowance and saved conversations are the ones already on your account — nothing separate to buy or set up.
• Chat with streaming replies — Full chat, including live streamed answers, attachments, image results and emergency alerts, exactly as on the web.
• Voice calls — Voice mode works in the desktop window. Windows asks for microphone permission the first time; the app requests it only for Nox itself.
• Files in and out — Upload photos and documents with the normal Windows file picker or by dragging them in, and save downloads through the standard Windows save dialog.
• Tray, startup and a global shortcut — Nox lives in the system tray (open, new chat, start voice, daily check-in), can launch when you sign in to Windows, and Ctrl+Shift+Space shows or hides it from anywhere. Closing the window keeps it in the tray — you can turn that off in Settings.
• Automatic updates — New versions download in the background and are checked against the published SHA-256 checksum before you choose “Restart to update”.
• Windows notifications — Daily check-in reminders arrive as Windows notifications, even while Nox is in the tray.
• Links open in your browser — Any link that leaves Nox opens in your default browser instead of taking over the app window.

Requirements

• Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit (x64)
• About 400 MB of free disk space
• An internet connection — the desktop app talks to the same Nox service as the website
• A Nox account (free plan works)

Installing

• Download the installer — The download is a single file, Nox-Setup-1.1.0-x64.exe.
• Approve the unsigned-app warning — The current release is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC”. Choose “More info”, then “Run anyway”. If you would rather not, keep using Nox in your browser — it has the same features.
• Install — The installer runs for the current user and does not ask for administrator rights. You can change the install folder, and it creates a Start menu and desktop shortcut named Nox.
• Sign in — Open Nox from the Start menu and sign in as you would on the website. You stay signed in between launches.

What this first release does not do

• The desktop app is not code-signed yet, so Windows will warn you the first time you run the installer.
• It needs an internet connection. There is no offline mode: no offline chat, no offline access to your health data.
• Updating from 1.0.x to 1.1 needs one manual install; from 1.1 on, updates are automatic.
• Windows 64-bit only for now — there is no macOS, Linux or 32-bit Windows build.
• It is a desktop window around the Nox web app, not a rewritten native app — features match the website.

Privacy and security

The installer contains only the desktop window and the public Nox front end — no API keys and no credentials are packaged inside it. The desktop app talks to the same Nox service as the website, over HTTPS, and is covered by the same Privacy Policy and Terms.

Uninstalling

Uninstall from Windows Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Nox → Uninstall, or from the Nox entry in the Start menu. Uninstalling removes the app; your account and conversations stay on your account and remain available in the browser.

Prefer not to install anything? Nox runs fully in the browser at www.getnox.ai — the desktop app adds a window, tray, shortcuts and notifications, not different features.
