Flux 1.1.1: desktop app starts offline

Desktop app now opens its window immediately and downloads yt-dlp in the background, so it starts without internet. Fixes the AppImage catalog test.

Flux 1.1.0: desktop app

Flux now ships as a desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. Download, open, paste a link, and save. No Node, Docker or setup needed.

Downloads (below under Assets)

• Windows: Flux-Setup-*.exe
• macOS: Flux-*.dmg
• Linux: Flux-*.AppImage

Notes

• The first launch needs internet: it fetches yt-dlp, then keeps it updated.
• Builds are unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen (More info, then Run anyway) and macOS Gatekeeper (right-click, then Open) will warn on first open.
• Full-length downloads work without Google sign-in in the desktop app.
• The self-hosted web and Docker versions are unchanged.
