Youka Desktop brings the complete Youka Online experience to an installed app and adds three practical benefits: Create from URL, Free export, and Offline playback.
Looking for the previous application? Open the Youka Desktop Legacy documentation.

​
Install Youka Desktop

  1. Open the Youka Desktop download page.
  2. Choose Windows, macOS, or Ubuntu / Debian.
  3. Install and open Youka Desktop.
  4. Sign in with the account you use for Youka Online.
The Windows installer is currently unsigned, so Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may identify it as an unrecognized app. If you downloaded it from www.youka.io, choose More info, then Run anyway to continue.
Youka Desktop and Youka Desktop Legacy install side by side. Installing the new app does not migrate or delete Legacy projects. To bring existing editable projects into the new app, follow Move Legacy projects to Youka Online.

What is available offline
