localdraw
Launch the local-first ExcaliDash desktop app:
npx localdrawThe command downloads a SHA-256-verified native release on first run, installs it in your user account, and opens it. Later runs launch the installed app immediately.
For the smoothest canvas performance on high-refresh-rate displays, run the local app in your default browser instead of the embedded webview:
npx localdraw --browserBrowser mode prints and opens http://127.0.0.1:32144. Run
npx localdraw --help to see all launcher options without installing or
starting the app.
Set LOCALDRAW_VERBOSE=1 to show native installer output when troubleshooting.
The desktop application keeps its SQLite database on your computer and starts with authentication disabled. Supported targets are macOS arm64/x64, Windows x64 (including Windows on ARM through emulation), and Linux x64.
To keep the native download compact, CJK Xiaolai font subsets are downloaded only when a drawing needs them. Downloads are version-pinned, checksum-verified, and cached locally; offline use falls back to an installed system font.
