Thanks for reaching out. Could you please try to delete cache? When you can get into Figma app, you can manually clear your cache as the following steps:
Close the Figma desktop app
Open the Start menu, and paste in this, followed by enter: %APPDATA%\Figma
In the window that opens, delete the Desktop and DesktopProfile folders if they exist
Launch the desktop app again
If it doesn’t work, could you download the latest app and to open Figma app?
I hope it will work but if the problem persists, please feel free to let us know.
Hi @Luciano_Clecio
If you’re using the Figma desktop app on Mac and need to clear the cache, you can do so easily through the Help menu. Just go to Troubleshooting in the Help menu. Alternatively, if you prefer a manual approach:
Quit the Figma desktop app
Open Terminal.app and enter the following command: rm -rf “$HOME/Library/Application Support/Figma”
Try opening the desktop app again
I hope it helps!

Hello, My operating system is Manjaro-Linux. When I open Figma, it says " Figma desktop app is out of date". I didn’t solve this. Can someone help? THX!
Hey @hellopettek ,
There is currently no official desktop app for Linux , but you can use Figma in browser as an alternative.
