# Overview
> Start here if the Ghostable desktop app is your primary client.
Read the shared Ghostable overview if you are comparing Desktop, CLI, and automation workflows.
## Why Use the Desktop App
The Ghostable desktop app is the default client for day-to-day work on macOS. It gives teams a
native workspace for:
* signing in through the browser,
* linking a trusted device,
* browsing organizations, projects, and environments,
* editing and reviewing variables,
* checking history and validation results,
* issuing deploy tokens for CI.
Use the CLI when you need scripting, CI, or a non-macOS workflow.
