# Introduction
MS-365-Electron streamlines your workflow by offering a dedicated desktop interface for the free, web-based version of [Microsoft 365](https://microsoft365.com). Think of it as a convenient launchpad for web applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, eliminating the need to navigate through browser tabs.
I initially made this project because I wanted to use Microsoft 365 on my Linux system with a native experience. Later, I decided to make it public so that others can enjoy this too!
This is not a full-fledged Microsoft 365 Suite, but just a web wrapper for Microsoft 365 Web, made with Electron.
