- The redesigned desktop app described on this page is currently available as a **release candidate**. Behavior and screenshots may change before the stable release. To try it, download [v0.75.0-rc.1](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases/tag/v0.75.0-rc.1) from GitHub releases.

The NetBird desktop app has been rebuilt from the ground up. It runs on a [Wails](https://wails.io/) webview with a React frontend, while the Go backend that talks to the daemon stays the same. The management server and wire protocol are unchanged. The redesigned app is not backward compatible with older agents, though, so the app and the agent need to be updated together. If their versions do not match, the app shows a notification prompting you to update.

The redesigned desktop app renders its interface in a GTK 4 WebKit webview. Linux distributions package these libraries under inconsistent names, so install them manually before launching the GUI.
