Office 365 on Electron for Windows

Overview

Electron-based Office 365 Client for Windows is an unofficial desktop wrapper that gives Windows users a native-like way to open Office Web apps. It preserves the look and capabilities of the online Office suite while running in a standalone application window, removing the need to keep a browser tab open for everyday documents and presentations.

Included applications

• PowerPoint — access presentations using the web interface inside a dedicated window.
• Excel — open spreadsheets with the same formulas and layout provided by the online version.
• Word — create and edit documents with the familiar online editor, without using a browser tab.

Advantages of using the desktop wrapper

• Desktop experience: provides a more app-like workflow compared with running Office in a browser.
• Faster switching and window management when handling multiple Office files.
• Reduced browser clutter since each Office tool runs in its own window.
• No extra cost — the client is distributed free to use.
• Productivity-focused: keeps the essential web features while offering a streamlined desktop environment.

Suggested alternative

AllDup (free) is listed as a recommended alternative tool. If you prefer a different utility for managing files or need another lightweight productivity helper, AllDup provides a no-cost option worth considering.
