How the Built-in launcher works

- Auto-connects when app opens
- Runs silently in background
- Self-restarts if it stops
- No browser extension or manual agent
How automatic updates work
The update system stays in the background and handles everything on its own. You never deal with installers or notifications — you just open the app and it always runs the latest version with new features and fixes.
- App checks for updates in the background
- Downloads and installs automatically
- Includes new features, bug fixes, performance improvements
- Users only need to keep the app open
Using the web & desktop versions together
You don’t have to choose one version forever. Both stay synced in real time, so you can open a profile on the desktop app and review settings on the web version without losing changes. Everything updates instantly.
- Both versions have the same features
- Real-time syncing
- Can switch anytime without losing work
Why most users run profiles on the Multilogin X desktop app
Most long-time users end up running their daily work on the desktop app because it cuts out the friction that slows teams down. No agent button. No reconnecting. No waiting for updates. You open the app and your profiles are ready. For people managing 10 profiles or teams running thousands, that reliability matters. It removes unnecessary clicks, and when you’re juggling accounts, proxy setups, tasks, and team operations, the fewer moving parts, the better. The desktop app keeps everything stable so users can focus on the work that brings revenue, not the steps that interrupt it.
Core features users rely on:
- Automatic updates in the background
- Built-in premium residential proxy traffic, which is included in all plans
- 10 profiles fully functional on entry plans
- 55+ fingerprint parameters for undetectable profiles
- Cloud or local storage for profile data
- Pre-farmed cookies for account warm-up
- Android mobile profile emulation
- Supports up to 10,000+ profiles for large teams
When the desktop app saves you time
Time loss usually shows up in moments you don’t expect. The agent disconnects during a login. A profile fails to start because the web launcher didn’t connect. An update pops up in the middle of a workflow. The desktop app removes these breaks. It connects the agent the moment you open it and restarts itself if needed. Updates install quietly. Your proxies, fingerprints, and cookies load without friction.
Real situations where users save time:
- Agent dropped → desktop launcher reconnects automatically
- Update appeared → desktop app updates silently
- Profile stalled → fingerprinter + proxy load instantly
- Automation broke → desktop keeps a stable environment
- Team workflows → shared profiles sync in real time
The biggest problems the desktop app removes
Problem | Feature That Fixes It |
Manual agent connection | Self-restarting built-in launcher |
Session drops | Automatic launcher reconnection |
Update interruptions | Background updates (no installers) |
Browser failing to start | Stable runtime + launcher auto-connect |
Setup confusion for beginners | Simple onboarding + aged cookies for stability |
What you won’t deal with anymore after switching
Switching removes the micro-problems that break momentum. No reconnecting the agent. No installers. No update pop-ups. No failed profile starts. No guessing whether the environment is ready.
You won’t deal with:
- Manual agent connection
- Update downloads
- Launcher errors
- Browser failing to launch
- Session drops
- Broken fingerprint loads
You keep:
- Built-in proxies
- Aged cookies
- Android mobile profiles
- API + CLI automation
- Unlimited team seats (Business plans)
Why stable agent connection matters when running accounts
The agent is the backbone of your browser identity. If it disconnects during login or verification, many platforms treat the session as unstable. If it drops while warming up cookies or running automation, the entire flow becomes risky.
Why a stable launcher protects your accounts:
- Fingerprints load fully every time
- Proxy identity stays consistent
- Cookie warm-up behaves like a real user
- Automation runs without breaking
- Android mobile profiles emulate a stable device
