Desktop App

The desktop app gives you the same experience as the web app, but runs natively on your machine.

Download

Get the latest release from nexsim.dev/download.

Platform	Format
macOS (Apple Silicon)	.dmg
macOS (Intel)	.dmg
Windows 10+	.exe
Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)	.deb

Why use the desktop app?

• Native speed — the simulation engine runs as a native binary, not WebAssembly
• File system access — open .vhd and .vcd files directly from disk

Usage

The interface is identical to the web app:

1. Load VHDL files
2. Pick the top entity
3. Set run time and simulate
4. View and interact with waveforms

See the Web App guide for a full walkthrough — the steps are the same.
