Setup flow

The desktop app

OneCamp has a desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. It opens your own
workspace in its own window, with native notifications and a tray icon that
keeps it running, so messages still reach you after you close the window.

The app holds no copy of OneCamp: it loads your workspace's address, so it
always matches the version your server runs. It works with OneCamp Cloud and
with self-hosted installs alike.

Install it

Download the file for your computer from the
latest release:

Your computer File
Windows OneCamp_…_x64-setup.exe
Mac with Apple silicon (M1 and later) OneCamp_…_aarch64.dmg
Mac with Intel OneCamp_…_x64.dmg
Linux .AppImage, .deb or .rpm

The installers are not yet code-signed:

  • Windows may show "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info, then
    Run anyway.
  • macOS may say the app cannot be opened. Right-click it in Applications and
    choose Open.

First launch

Enter the address you open OneCamp at in your browser, for example
onecamp.yourcompany.com, and sign in as usual. Google and single sign-on work
inside the app. No workspace yet? Choose Try the live demo.

Everyday use

  • Closing the window keeps OneCamp in the tray, like a chat app. To quit,
    use the tray icon's menu.
  • Change workspace… in the tray menu starts again at the address page.
  • Links in messages open in your normal browser.
  • Notifications use your operating system's own. Allow them when asked.

Updates

The app checks for a new version when it starts and tells you if one is
available. Choose Check for updates in the tray menu to install it; the app
restarts when it is done. Updates are signed, and the app refuses one whose
signature does not match.
