🚀 GeminiDesk Update: The SuperAssistant & Liquid Glass Era
We are thrilled to announce a massive update to GeminiDesk! This release transforms the way you interact with AI, introducing native support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a complete visual overhaul, and powerful productivity tools.
✨ Key Highlights
🤖 Native MCP SuperAssistant Support
GeminiDesk now fully supports the MCP SuperAssistant unpacked extension natively within the app. Connect Gemini to your local tools, files, and scripts like never before.
- "Do It For Me" Setup: We know setting up MCP servers can be complex. We've built a dedicated Setup Wizard that automates the creation of the
config.jsonfile and handles the proxy connection for you. - Native Loader: The extension is injected directly into the application session, ensuring seamless integration with the Gemini interface.
💎 All-New "Liquid Glass" UI
We have completely redesigned the application with a beautiful Liquid Glass aesthetic.
- Modern Aesthetics: Enjoy a sleek, translucent interface that feels modern and lightweight.
- Immersive Experience: The new design focuses on content while providing a premium desktop application feel.
🎙️ Hands-Free Voice Mode
Talk to Gemini without touching your mouse.
- New Shortcut: Press
Alt+Shift+Ato instantly wake the application and automatically activate the microphone. - Seamless Interaction: Great for multitasking or when you're away from the keyboard.
📝 Markdown Export
Take your conversations with you.
- Direct Export: You can now export full chat histories directly to Markdown (
.md) files. - Rich Formatting: Preserves headers, code blocks, tables, and image links, making it perfect for documentation or saving notes.
🛠️ Improvements & Fixes
- Stability: Enhanced window management and background throttling prevention.
- Customization: Improved "Always on Top" and window restoration logic.

⚠️ Important for macOS users
Due to Apple’s Gatekeeper security, applications that are not signed with an Apple Developer ID are marked as “quarantined” after being downloaded from the internet. This may cause the error:
“App is damaged and can’t be opened”
How to run the app on macOS:
- Download the
.dmgfile from the Releases page. - Open the
.dmgand drag GeminiDesk.app into the Applications folder. - Open the Terminal and run the command below:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/GeminiDesk.app
- Launch the application normally (via Launchpad).
This process removes the quarantine flag and allows the app to run. Without an Apple Developer ID, this manual step is required for all macOS downloads.
