Download

platypusgit runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Pick your platform below. Prebuilt binaries live on GitHub Releases.

No published releases yet. The commands below are the intended install paths; binaries appear on the Releases page once tagged. Until then, build from source.

macOS

Apple Silicon & Intel.

Homebrew

brew install --cask --no-quarantine jonassaa/platypusgit/platypusgit

The app is ad-hoc signed but not notarized. --no-quarantine skips the macOS Gatekeeper flag so it launches with no "unidentified developer" prompt.

DMG

Download the .dmg from Releases and drag platypusgit.app into /Applications.

First launch — DMG, unsigned build

DMG installs aren't notarized, so on first launch macOS may say the app is damaged or from an unidentified developer. Clear the quarantine flag (Homebrew's --no-quarantine already handles this):

xattr -cr /Applications/platypusgit.app

Or: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway for platypusgit.

Windows

Windows 10 & 11. WebView2 ships with Windows 11.

winget

winget install platypusgit

Installer (.msi)

Download the .msi from Releases and run it.

First launch — unsigned build

The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows a warning. Click More info → Run anyway to proceed.

Linux

Needs webkit2gtk 4.1. Two formats — Debian package or portable AppImage.

Debian / Ubuntu (.deb)

sudo apt install ./platypusgit_0.1.0_amd64.deb

AppImage (portable)

chmod +x platypusgit_0.1.0_amd64.AppImage
./platypusgit_0.1.0_amd64.AppImage

Build from source

Standard Tauri toolchain. Works on all three platforms.

# Prerequisites: Node 22+, pnpm, Rust stable
#   macOS:   xcode-select --install
#   Linux:   libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev build-essential libssl-dev
#   Windows: WebView2 + MSVC Build Tools

git clone https://github.com/jonassaa/platypusgit.git
cd platypusgit
pnpm install
pnpm tauri build   # produces .dmg / .msi / .deb / .AppImage
