Medal Social Desktop

Your social inbox, scheduler, and CRM — always one shortcut away.

Latest release macOS macOS License

Always points to the latest signed release.


Why a desktop app?

  • Deep links open in Medal, not a new browser tab. Click a medal://... link from email or Slack and it lands in your existing window.
  • One window across accounts. Single-instance enforcement keeps the multi-account model coherent.
  • Window state survives restarts. Size and position restore on relaunch — Linear-grade polish.
  • Silent auto-updates. Updates download in the background and apply on next restart. No nagging dialogs.
  • Native notifications, system tray, global hotkey (coming in v1.1+).

Download

Always grab the latest from Releases.

Platform File What it is
macOS (Apple Silicon — M1, M2, M3, M4) Medal-Social-arm64.dmg Universal installer for Apple Silicon Macs
macOS (Intel) Medal-Social-x64.dmg Installer for Intel-based Macs
Windows (coming soon) Awaiting Microsoft Trusted Signing certification
Linux (coming soon) AppImage with detached GPG signature

After downloading, open the .dmg, drag Medal Social to Applications, and launch.

Verifying the signature

codesign --verify --deep --strict --verbose=2 /Applications/Medal\ Social.app
spctl --assess --type execute --verbose /Applications/Medal\ Social.app

A signed and notarized build will report accepted and source=Notarized Developer ID. SHA256 checksums for every artifact are listed in SHA256SUMS.txt on each release.

How it works

The desktop app is a small native shell (built with Tauri) that loads https://app.medalsocial.com over HTTPS. It's the same product you use in your browser, with the additions above. Auto-updates check https://ota.medalsocial.com every six hours; the update payload itself is hosted on this repo's Releases page and verified at install time against a public key baked into the binary.

Desktop app   →   app.medalsocial.com   ←   apps/web (React)
                                         ↑
                                         Convex backend
                                         
Update check  →   ota.medalsocial.com   →   GitHub Releases (this repo)
                  (Cloudflare Worker)

Roadmap

  • v1.0 — macOS shell with deep-links, single-instance, window state, silent auto-update (this release)
  • v1.1 — Native notifications for mentions / DMs / comments
  • v1.2 — System tray menu (Compose, Open Inbox, Toggle Window) and dock unread badge
  • v1.3 — Global hotkey to summon the composer from anywhere
  • v1.4 — Beta release channel + Settings → Apps page in the web app

Windows and Linux builds will join the matrix as their respective signing infrastructure comes online.

Privacy

The desktop app is a thin shell over the hosted Medal Social product. It does not collect telemetry beyond what app.medalsocial.com already collects (PostHog product analytics). Auto-updates check the OTA endpoint every six hours with a hashed install ID — no email, account, or personally identifying information is sent.
