DeskVybz Prototype Update Channel

Release Notes · 10 August 2026 · 8:01 PM CDT

A calmer way
to stay current.

This is DeskVybz’ public prototype update hub. Each release is documented here so you can see what changed, why it matters, and what still needs testing before it becomes a stable release.

Prototype software. Features are actively evolving. Save a snapshot before testing a new build and share any rough edges you find.

Current Release

DeskVybz 0.1.3

Available

The companion and workspace persistence pass: Vyb has a clearer working menu, every desktop remembers its own card layout, and complete Desktop Packs can now be shared or restored.

Before You Install

Prototype, not a promise.

  • Install with a standard Windows account — administrator access is not required.
  • Use Snapshot & Backup before changing a layout you care about.
  • Windows may show a SmartScreen notice until future releases are code-signed.

Why This Update Matters

DeskVybz can now leave the browser.

Native Windows shell
A real desktop window and an installable, per-user package make it possible to test against actual monitors and Windows behavior.

Display controls
Windowed, windowed fullscreen, fullscreen, and common ultrawide-friendly sizes are available from the profile menu.

Vyb and workspace persistence
The companion now includes a working launch menu, local-model resources, and local autosave so each desktop keeps its own layout after switching or reopening the app.
