Desktop App

GoShipFast runs fully in the browser, but the desktop app (macOS, Windows, Linux) is the most capable client. Three things only it can do:

Work with your local files. Bind a working folder and the agent can read your repository, fix SEO issues in your actual code, and publish blog posts by committing directly to your site. See Publishing to Your Blog.
Publish to platforms without APIs. Xiaohongshu, Threads, and Instagram publishing run through a managed browser session you log into once. See Connecting Each Platform.
Stay resident. Native notifications, a taskbar badge for finished work, and an agent side panel available on every screen.

Signing in

The app never asks for your password. Click Open login in browser, sign in on goshipfast.com as usual, and the browser hands the session back to the app automatically. If your session expires later, you'll be prompted to repeat the same step.

Finding your way around

The sidebar has two modes:

Outside a brand: Home (a cross-brand inbox of drafts, scheduled posts, and traffic), Brands, Usage, and Settings.
Inside a brand: the full workspace — Create, Chat, Customers, Dashboard, Content, SEO, Knowledge, Email, Publishing, Analytics, and Settings. Click the logo to step back out.

The top bar of a brand workspace holds the brand switcher, tabs for every article you have open in the editor, the notification bell, and a toggle for the Agent panel — a chat sidebar that stays with you on every page, so you can ask for changes in context instead of switching screens.

The working folder

Several agent abilities need to know where your project lives on disk. Set the working folder from the chat composer inside a brand. Once bound:

"Fix all with AI" in the SEO Studio can edit your real files.
The blog publish step can write the article into your repository and push it.
The agent's file tools (read, edit, diff previews) operate on that folder, with every change shown as a reviewable diff before you keep it.

Settings worth knowing

Preferences — theme (light/dark/system) and language (English, 简体中文, 繁體中文).
Notifications — a desktop toggle for system banners and the badge, plus email notification switches (content ready for review, publish results, weekly digest, product updates).
Check for Updates — in the user menu. The app also updates itself: small updates apply silently in the background, larger ones prompt for a restart.

Desktop or web?

Everything core works in both. Use the web app for quick edits from any machine; use the desktop app when you want git publishing, managed-browser platforms, or the agent working against your codebase. Your data is identical in both, live from the same account.
