Glob Social for Mac
Use Glob Social in a Mac window, with a built-in browser for web links.
Glob Social for Mac opens Glob Social in its own desktop window. Use it if you want the canvas alongside your other Mac apps, with a built-in browser for opening web links. The app is called Glob in Applications.
The desktop beta requires macOS 13 or later. There are separate downloads for Apple silicon and Intel Macs on the download page.
Start here
- Install the desktop beta.
- Open Glob from Applications and choose Sign in with Colli.
- Use the same Glob Social account you use on the website.
The app keeps its own sign-in between launches. Signing in on a browser tab does not automatically sign in the desktop window. If a sign-in opens in your browser and the app stays signed out, follow the sign-in troubleshooting steps.
What differs from the website
The Social content in the desktop window comes from the website. Your canvas and account are the same; the desktop app adds Mac window controls and a Web page menu for its built-in browser.
The installed beta has manual app updates. Changes to the website can appear without installing a new desktop app. See installation and updates.
An internet connection is needed to load the hosted app and use its online features. The beta also blocks downloads from pages in its window. Use the website in your regular browser for account exports and other downloads.
