Deskifier for internal tools

Ship your Retool tools as desktop apps

Ops dashboards, support consoles, warehouse terminals: take the internal tools your team built in Retool and install them on the machines where the work happens, with kiosk mode, boot launch, and self-updating fleets.

Internal tools live or die on friction

An internal tool in a browser tab competes with every other tab, gets closed by accident, and depends on whoever set up the bookmark. On shared machines, a warehouse floor, a support pod, a front desk, that friction compounds into "the tool nobody has open."

Installed, the same Retool app becomes an appliance: it launches with the machine, fills the screen or sits in the tray, and can't be navigated away from. IT deploys a signed installer once; after that, content updates when you edit the app in Retool, and the shell updates itself.

Built for operational software

Kiosk & fullscreen modes
Lock a station to one tool: fullscreen, frameless, un-closeable. Ideal for shared terminals and shop floors.
Launch at boot
A power cycle ends in your tool, not a desktop. Recovery from restarts needs nobody on site.
Fleet updates, two layers
Edit in Retool and every installed machine has it instantly. The native shell updates silently from your release channel.
Signed installers for IT
Properly signed Mac and Windows installers that pass Gatekeeper and SmartScreen, deployable via standard MDM tooling.
Hardware within reach
Silent printing for labels and receipts, device identifiers for per-station behavior, filesystem access, via SDK or no-code behaviors.
Every platform at once
Windows terminals, Mac desks, Linux boxes (.deb, Snap, x64 and arm64) from one configuration.

From Retool URL to deployed fleet

  1. 1
    Point Deskifier at your tool
    Use your Retool app URL, public link or SSO-protected; sessions persist in the app like a browser.
  2. 2
    Pick the mode
    A normal windowed app for individual use, or kiosk plus launch-at-boot for shared stations. Set per platform.
  3. 3
    Deploy the installers
    Signed builds for each OS, rolled out by hand or MDM. From then on the fleet maintains itself.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The app is a real Chromium environment, so your identity provider flow works like it does in a browser and sessions persist between launches.

That is kiosk mode: fullscreen, frameless, un-closeable, optionally always-on-top, with launch at boot so restarts self-heal. Staff exit through OS-level access you control.

Your Retool edits are live everywhere immediately, exactly like the web. Native shell changes roll out through the built-in auto-updater. Neither requires touching a terminal.

No, any internal tool with a URL works the same way: Appsmith, Budibase, Superblocks, or something your team built in-house.
