# Whatfix Desktop Apps

There are two main applications required to work with Whatfix Desktop, namely, the Whatfix Studio and the Player.

- **The Whatfix Studio** is a desktop application that enables you to create different types of content, like Flows, Beacons, Pop-ups, and more. For more information, see,
  - [Install Whatfix Desktop Studio](/desktop/docs/installing-whatfix-desktop-studio)
  - [Update Whatfix Desktop Studio](/desktop/docs/update-whatfix-studio)
  - [Uninstall Whatfix Desktop Studio](/desktop/docs/how-to-uninstall-the-whatfix-studio-app)
- **The Whatfix Player** is a desktop application that enables you to preview the created content, and display it to your end users. For more information, see,
  - [Install the Whatfix Desktop Player](/desktop/docs/install-whatfix-desktop-player)
  - [Auto-update of Whatfix Desktop Player](/desktop/docs/autoupdateswhatfixdesktopplayer)
  - [How to uninstall the Whatfix Desktop Player?](/desktop/docs/how-to-uninstall-the-whatfix-desktop-player)

          Note

          

- Content creators require both the Studio and Player apps. They can create content and widgets using the Studio and then preview them using the Player.
- End users only need to have the Player installed on their desktops to view published Whatfix content and widgets.
- For more information on how to install the Player and the Studio, see [Where can I download the installation files of the Whatfix Studio and Player apps?](/desktop/docs/where-can-i-download-the-installation-files-of-the-whatfix-editor-and-player-apps)
