# Downloads

The simplest way to use Actual is to download the desktop application. This will give you access to all of Actual's budgeting features. For a breakdown of what features require a server in addition to the base app see the [Installation Guide](/docs/install).

## Desktop Client

<div style={{display: 'grid', gridTemplateColumns: 'repeat(auto-fit, minmax(220px, 1fr))', gap: '1rem', marginTop: '2rem', marginBottom: '2rem'}}>
<DownloadCard
    icon={<Winsvg width="100" height="100" fill="#6B46C1" />}
    platform="Windows"
    links={[

## Server Download

Actual has two parts, the client and a sync server. The primary task of the sync server is to sync your budget between devices, and to enable bank syncing. We have a full write up of [if you need a server or not](/docs/install/). We also have install guides on how to set up the server in the following ways

- [PikaPods](/docs/install/pikapods)
- [Fly.io](/docs/install/fly)
- [CLI Tool](/docs/install/cli-tool)
- [Docker Install](/docs/install/docker)
- [Build from source](/docs/install/build-from-source)
