How to Install the GoHighLevel Desktop App on Mac

If you manage multiple workspaces across tools like ClickUp and need a faster way to access your CRM, the GoHighLevel desktop app for Mac offers a focused, browser-free experience. This guide walks you through downloading, installing, opening, and updating the private beta version of the GoHighLevel desktop application on macOS.

The steps below are based on the official GoHighLevel help documentation for the Mac desktop private beta, ensuring you follow the correct and supported procedure.

What You Need Before Installing GoHighLevel

Before you install the GoHighLevel desktop app on your Mac, confirm the following requirements:

A compatible Mac computer running a recent version of macOS.
A stable internet connection for downloading and logging into the app.
Admin access to approve installations if your Mac is managed by an organization.
Valid GoHighLevel login credentials for your existing account.

You should also make sure that your browser and operating system are up to date, as the download process for the GoHighLevel installer relies on standard macOS security prompts.

The GoHighLevel desktop application for Mac is available as a private beta through the official help center. Always download the installer directly from the official resource to avoid corrupted or unauthorized files.

The download page will provide the latest available Mac build and specific notes related to the private beta version of the GoHighLevel desktop app.

Step-by-Step: Download GoHighLevel for Mac

Follow these steps to download the GoHighLevel desktop installer file on your Mac:

Open your preferred web browser on your Mac, such as Safari or Chrome.
Visit the official GoHighLevel Mac desktop private beta help page linked above.
Locate the download button or link for the Mac version of the GoHighLevel desktop application.
Click the download link and wait for the installer file (usually a .dmg package) to finish downloading.
Once the download is complete, open your Downloads folder to locate the GoHighLevel installer file.

Do not rename the installer file. Keeping the original file name helps you recognize future updates to the GoHighLevel desktop app.

How to Install the GoHighLevel Desktop App on macOS

After the GoHighLevel installer file has been downloaded, complete the installation using these steps:

Double-click the downloaded .dmg file to open the GoHighLevel installer.
Wait for macOS to verify the app. This may take a few seconds.
In the installer window, drag the GoHighLevel app icon into the Applications folder shortcut, if prompted.
Once the copy finishes, close the installer window.
Eject the installer image from Finder by clicking the eject icon next to the GoHighLevel installer under Locations.

The GoHighLevel desktop app is now installed in your Applications folder and ready to be opened like any other macOS application.

Opening the GoHighLevel Desktop App for the First Time

When you open the GoHighLevel desktop app for the first time, macOS may display a security warning because the app is in private beta. Follow these steps to launch it successfully:

Open Finder and go to Applications.
Locate the GoHighLevel app icon.
Right-click (or Control-click) the GoHighLevel icon and select Open.
macOS may show a warning dialog about the app being downloaded from the internet.
Click Open again in the dialog to confirm and allow the GoHighLevel app to run.

Using the right-click and Open sequence helps macOS register GoHighLevel as an allowed application, so you usually will not see the same warning on subsequent launches.

How to Log In to GoHighLevel on the Desktop App

Once the GoHighLevel desktop app opens, you will be prompted to sign in to your account:

On the login screen, enter the email address associated with your GoHighLevel account.
Type your password carefully, respecting any capitalization or special characters.
If enabled, complete any two-factor authentication or verification steps.
Click the Login or Sign In button.

After signing in, you will be taken into your familiar GoHighLevel environment, preserved within the desktop window. From here, you can manage pipelines, automations, conversations, and other features as you would in the browser version.

Using the GoHighLevel Desktop App on Mac

The GoHighLevel desktop interface on Mac is designed to feel consistent with the web app, but with faster access and fewer distractions. While specific features may evolve during the private beta, you can generally expect:

Dedicated window access to your GoHighLevel account without switching browser tabs.
Improved focus for sales, marketing, and service workflows.
Quick switching between sub-accounts and workspaces, similar to the browser version.
Native macOS window management, including full-screen and split view.

Refer to other official product resources if you need help with workflows or campaigns inside GoHighLevel itself, since this guide focuses specifically on the Mac desktop installation and access process.

How to Update the GoHighLevel Desktop App for Mac

Because this is a private beta, updates to the GoHighLevel desktop app may be released frequently. To stay current:

Check the same GoHighLevel help article periodically for new Mac builds.
If a newer installer is released, download the latest GoHighLevel .dmg file.
Repeat the installation steps by dragging the new GoHighLevel app into the Applications folder and replacing the existing version when prompted.

Running the latest GoHighLevel desktop version ensures you receive bug fixes, performance improvements, and any new Mac-specific enhancements added during the beta phase.

Troubleshooting Common GoHighLevel Mac Install Issues

If you encounter issues while installing or opening the GoHighLevel desktop app on macOS, consider these checks:

Installation blocked by macOS: Open System Settings > Privacy & Security and allow the GoHighLevel app if it appears under blocked items.
App will not open: Try the right-click > Open method again to re-authorize GoHighLevel.
