Does DocuClipper Have a Desktop App?
DocuClipper is web-only — here's why, plus how to install it as a desktop PWA and use the mobile app.
Last updated
Short answer: no dedicated desktop app. DocuClipper is a web application. Sign in at www.docuclipper.com/app from any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox) and everything works out of the box, no install, no download.
A mobile app is available for scanning and uploading documents on the go. To connect it, open the Mobile App section in your account settings and scan the QR code with your phone.
Why web-only
- No install: IT teams don't need to provision anything.
- Always up to date: new features land for everyone simultaneously.
- Works on any OS: Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS all use the same interface.
- Secure by default: your documents never leave our infrastructure; there's no local file to back up, lose, or leak.
"Install" as a PWA
If you prefer a dock/taskbar icon, DocuClipper runs as a Progressive Web App. In Chrome or Edge:
- Open www.docuclipper.com/app.
- Click the install icon in the address bar (a small monitor with a down arrow), or go to the browser menu → Install app.
- DocuClipper will appear in your Start menu / Applications folder like any other app, but under the hood it's still the same web app.
Automating from your desktop
If you want hands-off document processing without opening the app at all, use:
- Automations: drop PDFs into Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, or OneDrive and have DocuClipper process them on a schedule.
- Webhooks: get HTTP callbacks into your own systems when a job finishes.
