Desktop & Mobile Apps
Desktop & Mobile Apps
InterMIND works fully in the browser — the apps are optional. Install one when you want the call to survive a minimized window, native message and call alerts, or a home-screen icon on your phone.
Get them from the Downloads page:
| Platform | Package | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| macOS | Universal DMG (Apple silicon & Intel) | macOS 11 or later |
| Windows | x64 installer | Windows 10 or later |
| Android | Google Play · Huawei AppGallery (phones without Google services) · Samsung Galaxy Store | Android 8 or later |
| iOS | App Store | iPhone & iPad |
| Browser extension | Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons | Chrome or Edge — opens the call in the browser side panel while you present |
The desktop builds are signed, so they open without security warnings. The Samsung Galaxy Store version of the Android app is refreshed about once a quarter and gets no over-the-air updates in between — on a Samsung phone, Google Play has the newest one.
What's Different from the Browser
Inside a meeting, the apps and the browser are identical — same translation engine, same controls. The differences are around the meeting window:
| Capability | Web | Desktop | Mobile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Join & translate live meetings | Full | Full | Full |
| Screen sharing | Full | Full | Full — share your phone screen from iOS and Android; pinch to zoom a shared screen |
| Call stays alive when minimized | Tab is throttled | Runs unthrottled | Foreground service |
| Native notifications | In-tab only | System + dock badge | Push notifications — on Android they need Google services (see below) |
| Share into InterMIND from other apps | Paste or drag into a chat | macOS Share menu; Windows: paste or drag | iOS and Android share sheet — text, links, images, video, and files |
| Updates | Always latest, no restart | Downloads in background, applies on restart | Applies on next launch; the store you installed from for native changes |
Huawei Phones Without Google Services
The Android app is the same package on Google Play, Huawei AppGallery and Samsung Galaxy Store. On a Huawei phone without Google services, meetings, live translation, chat, sign-in with Google or Microsoft (it opens in the phone's browser) and over-the-air updates all work. What does not work is push notifications: alerts about incoming calls and new messages rely on Google services, so on those phones they arrive only while the app is open.
When to Use Which
- Web — no install, always the latest version. The default.
- Desktop — you keep InterMIND open all day: background calls aren't throttled, and alerts arrive even when the window is hidden.
- Mobile — meetings on the go with push notifications; the foreground service keeps the call running when you switch apps.
- Browser extension (Chrome, Edge) — opens InterMIND in the browser side panel, so you can see the call while presenting: the side panel stays out of the shared tab.
