Is there a Meta Muse app for Windows?

Not as a native app, as of the last-verified date above. Muse shipped a real desktop app for Mac (launched September 17-18, 2026), but Windows users still access Muse through the muse.ai web app in a browser — same account, same memory, just no installable client yet.

Is Meta Muse available on Android?

Yes — Muse from Meta is on Google Play (package com.facebook.aura), available in the US and Canada, alongside the iOS app. Earlier drafts of this guide said Android was unconfirmed; that was wrong and has been corrected.

Do I need to pay to sign up?

The free tier itself costs $0 (~100 million tokens a week), but sign-up still requires a payment method on file — a one-time Stripe Link virtual card works and avoids exposing a real card number.

Can I use Meta Muse outside the US?

Not officially, as of September 2026. Muse is US-only and restricted to users 18 and older. Any workaround you read about elsewhere is unconfirmed and may violate Meta's terms.

What's the fastest way to get extra free tokens?

Get a referral link from someone already using Muse (or start from muse.ai/join) and enter the code within 48 hours of signing up — both sides get 1 billion tokens. Miss the 48-hour window and the bonus is gone for good.

Meta Muse Download & Setup Guide: iOS, Android, Mac, Web, WhatsApp (2026)

How do you actually download Meta Muse? Short answer: it depends on your device. Muse now ships real installable apps for iOS, Android, and Mac, plus a browser-based muse.ai web app and a WhatsApp entry point — five access points total, five different install stories. This guide covers all of them, plus the region/age gate and the account setup most people trip over.

The five real access points

	iOS / Android app	Mac app	muse.ai web	WhatsApp
Where it runs	App Store / Google Play	Native macOS app (launched Sept 17-18, 2026)	Any browser — Windows, Linux, Chromebook, or Mac	Inside your existing WhatsApp chat
Setup	Download, sign in	Download from ai.meta.com/muse/download, sign in	Go to muse.ai, sign in, no install	Add the Muse contact, link your account
Best for	Heavy daily use, managing long-running tasks on the go	Acting on local files, Mail, Messages, Calendar, Notes	Desktop work on Windows/Linux, refining long prompts	Quick asks on the go, forwarding content
Region	US, Android also in Canada	US-first	US-first	US-first

All five sit on the same account — tasks and memory carry over between them. Start a task on your phone, check on it from the Mac app or your browser, get the result pinged to you on WhatsApp.

Comparing Muse’s entry points: full-featured app for daily use, the web for long desktop prompts, WhatsApp for quick access anywhere

The Mac app is a real desktop agent, not just a web wrapper

Since September 17-18, 2026, Muse has shipped a native macOS app (download at ai.meta.com/muse/download) that goes well beyond chat — it can act inside your actual Mac apps: reading and organizing Files, drafting in Mail, checking Messages and Calendar, editing Notes. It isn’t running the model on your laptop, though — Muse executes on its own dedicated computer in the cloud, so the agent’s work stays off your machine even while it’s touching your files. Permissions are opt-in per app, it asks for approval before sensitive actions, and it keeps an audit log of what it did. (TechCrunch, Sept 18 2026.)

Windows still doesn’t have a native app

If you searched “meta muse windows agent installer” expecting a downloadable app, here’s the honest answer: as of the last-verified date above, there’s no native Windows client for the consumer Muse agent. Windows users get the same account and memory through the muse.ai web app in a regular browser — full-featured, no install. If that changes, we’ll update this page (check the “last verified” line at the top). Note this is different from Muse Code, Meta’s separate developer coding-agent product, which does support Windows natively — that’s not the consumer Muse app covered in this guide.

Before you start: region and age

Muse launched September 8, 2026, and as of this writing it is US-only, 18+. There’s no confirmed timeline for international expansion — don’t build a plan, a client pitch, or a business around an assumption that it’s coming to your country on a schedule. If you’re outside the US, the honest move is to wait for an official announcement rather than chase a workaround.

Setting up your account

Pick your entry point — the App Store or Google Play for daily heavy use on the go, the Mac app if you want Muse acting on local files and native apps, muse.ai in a browser on Windows/Linux, or the WhatsApp contact for quick asks. See our Muse WhatsApp setup walkthrough for that path specifically.
Sign up and add a payment method. Even the free tier requires a card on file. A one-time Stripe Link virtual card works fine here if you’d rather not hand over a real card number for a $0 tier.
Claim a referral code within 48 hours if you have one. Have a friend already on Muse send their link, or start from muse.ai/join if you don’t know anyone yet. Entering a code within 48 hours of signup gets both of you 1 billion tokens — miss the window and it’s gone. Full mechanics in our free-tier and referral guide.
Grant only the connections you actually need. Muse can link to Gmail, Calendar, Spotify, Instagram, Threads, OpenTable and more — connect them as you need them rather than all at once, especially before you’ve read up on how the Secure VM sandbox actually handles your data.
Run one small task first. Before trusting it with anything that touches money or private data, give it something low-stakes — “summarize my unread emails from today” — so you understand how it behaves before you rely on it.

What you get on the free tier

Roughly 100 million tokens a week, which for most people is effectively unlimited — Meta’s own engineers reportedly burned through only 3% of it in three days of heavy use. Full breakdown of what that covers, the referral bonus, and when Power ($16–20/mo) or Maximum ($80–100/mo) is actually worth it: Muse Free Tier Guide.
