**What is Genymotion Desktop?**

Genymotion Desktop is a stand‑alone Android emulator you run locally on Windows 10/11, macOS or Linux. It gives you a full virtual Android environment with realistic sensors, camera, GPS, network conditions, and more so you can develop, test, and demo apps right on your PC or Mac.

Key points:

| Feature | What it does |

|---------|--------------|

| **Wide device coverage** | Emulate Android 5.0‑15.0, plus custom virtual devices you build yourself |

| **Rich sensor simulation** | GPS, accelerometer, battery level, network throttling, camera, microphone, etc. |

| **Fast “quick‑boot”** | Re‑launch a virtual device in seconds, skipping the full boot process |

| **Cloud sync** | New tab (v3.9.0) lists your Genymotion SaaS instances so you can launch cloud devices directly from the desktop UI |

| **License management** | Free personal‑use edition; paid licenses unlock additional features (support, latest Android releases, no ads, etc.) |

| **Platform support** | Works on Windows 10/11, macOS, and Linux (not Windows 7) |

| **Regular updates** | Latest release (3.9.0, April 2025) adds Android 15 support, UI refresh, storage management tools, and bug fixes |

> **Why use it?**

> • Local testing without needing a physical device.

> • Quick iteration during development or QA.

> • Demo apps to stakeholders in a controlled, reproducible environment.
