# Desktop application

> Set up and run noqa in Local mode on macOS

## macOS Application

The noqa desktop application for Mac allows you to run tests locally on your own iOS and Android devices and emulators.

Download and install the latest version from [noqa.ai/download](https://noqa.ai/download), where you'll also find the system requirements.

## Why local

* **Your own devices** — test on specific hardware you own.
* **Simulator support** — run tests on iOS Simulator or Android Emulator without physical devices.
* **TestFlight builds** — test builds directly from TestFlight.
* **Fast iteration** — watch agent steps in real time and fix issues immediately.
