An Electron desktop wrapper around the VIA web app (usevia.app) for configuring QMK-powered mechanical keyboards. It always runs the latest VIA version and supports both v3 and v2 keyboard definitions.
Use cases
- configure my mechanical keyboard without using a browser
- remap keys on a QMK keyboard via a desktop app
- manage VIA keyboard layouts and macros locally
- set up keyboard layers and lighting on Linux/macOS/Windows
- avoid browser permission issues when configuring VIA keyboards
When to choose
- you want a native desktop app for VIA instead of the web version
- you need the latest VIA features with v3 definition support
- you configure multiple QMK keyboards across different operating systems
When to avoid
- your keyboard uses a different configurator like QMK Toolbox or Remap
- you prefer the web app at usevia.app directly
- you need to flash firmware rather than configure keymaps
