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
