Desktop app

A local Playwright trace viewer plus an account dashboard, in one Electron app.

The kinora desktop app is two things in one shell:

• Local trace viewer - open any local trace.zip with no account and no server. A self-contained replacement for playwright show-trace.
• Account dashboard - sign in to a kinora server and open straight on the latest run’s failures.

Download

Grab the latest build for your platform from the releases page:

• macOS - .dmg for Apple Silicon and Intel, signed and notarized.
• Windows - .exe installer.
• Linux - AppImage.

It auto-updates from there: new versions download in the background and install on restart. The Windows and Linux builds are currently unsigned, so your OS may warn on first launch.

What you can do

From a failing test in the account dashboard:

• Re-run it locally with your repo’s own Playwright (never auto-installs; falls back to npx --no-install), and open the resulting trace inline.
• Jump to the source in your editor at the failing file:line (code and forks; override with KINORA_EDITOR_CMD).
• Copy a ready-to-paste AI prompt describing the failure.
• Open the full trace inline - the same embedded Playwright trace viewer as the web dashboard.

Open a local trace

Three ways, no account needed:

• File → Open Trace…
• Drag-drop a .zip onto the window.
• Pass a path as an argument, or open a .zip file with the app.

Signing in

The app signs in with the OAuth device flow: it shows a code, you approve it at app.kinora.dev/device in your browser, and the app receives a token (stored in the OS keychain). For self-host, it points at your own server instead.
