Brightwave is now available as a native desktop app for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Same agents, same citations, same professional deliverables, now in the place a lot of private markets work actually happens: on your machine.

The browser still works. Mobile still works. The point is choice. Brightwave should be close at hand whether you are reviewing a data room from your desk, checking an output between meetings, or building a memo with a model open beside it.

Brightwave on Your Machine

Open the desktop app to run a CIM screen, revise an IC memo, review a sourced excerpt, or kick off a portfolio analysis without hunting for the right browser tab. The full agent is there, not a lighter companion app and not a read-only view.

Brightwave still creates the outputs your team actually uses: reports, decks, models, and citable research deliverables that are ready to review and share.

Full Parity Across Web, Mobile, and Desktop

The desktop apps have full parity with Brightwave on the web and work with the mobile apps too. Projects, documents, conversations, and outputs stay in sync across surfaces.

Start a diligence thread on the web, check the finished memo from your phone, then pick it back up in the desktop app when you are ready to refine the deliverable. Same workspace. Same context.

Notifications When Work Finishes

Desktop notifications let you know when an agent completes a run or needs your input. Helpful when you have Brightwave working in the background while you are in Excel, a board deck, or a diligence call.

Auto-Updates Included

The apps update automatically, so your team gets the latest Brightwave improvements without managing another software chore. Install it once and keep working.
