Introducing the Aha! desktop app for Mac and Windows

by Claire George

How many browser tabs are open while you work? Aha! software is probably one of them. Now, it can have its own place on your desktop. The new Aha! desktop app gives you a dedicated window for product work, with Elle (the AI assistant in Aha! software) close at hand and the full product workspace ready when you need it.

Use the new Aha! desktop app for Mac and Windows as your home base for managing product work.

Keep product work moving forward

The My work page in Aha! software already provides a central place for working with Elle and managing recent work, to-dos, meetings, and notifications. The desktop app delivers that same familiar experience in a more focused environment — so it is easy to return to throughout the day.

Ask Elle a question, open the related record, and make the update or follow-up directly from the desktop app. Everything stays connected to your shared Aha! workspace, and the full web app is there when you need more detailed information or multiple screens.

Here is what you can do:

  • Ask product questions: Chat with Elle to get answers based on the product data in your Aha! account.

  • Review scheduled tasks: Check the results of tasks that Elle has completed on a schedule, then follow up on anything that requires a response.

  • Keep up with recent activity: Review recent records, to-dos, meetings, and notifications from the sidebar.

  • Take action on your work: Open an individual record to review details, comment, share, or make changes without leaving the desktop app.

Our team has been using the new desktop app for the last few weeks. We love having a focused place to check in on work and ask Elle for help. Here is a quick look at the experience:

The full Aha! workspace is still where broader planning comes together. Now, My work can have a place of its own on your desktop too — ready for all the smaller moments that connect one planning session to the next. As you start using the app, we want to hear what you think. Share your feedback in our ideas portal.
