dd998c0

A test build of Platty for Windows, Linux and macOS, made from dd998c0. It is not a release: expect rough edges, and please report what you find in the issues. Preview builds don't update themselves; the stable versions are in the regular releases.

🪟 Windows

Use the x64 files on most PCs and arm64 on Snapdragon and Surface Pro X. The setup replaces an installed Platty, the zip is portable. If SmartScreen stops it, choose More info and then Run anyway.

🐧 Linux

Pick x86_64 for most PCs and aarch64 for ARM boards and laptops.

chmod +x Platty-preview-7-linux-x86_64.AppImage
./Platty-preview-7-linux-x86_64.AppImage

It needs Wayland or X11 with OpenGL ES or Vulkan. If your system has no FUSE, add --appimage-extract-and-run.

🍎 macOS

Pick apple-silicon for M1 and newer, intel for older Macs. Requires macOS 12 or later. Open the .dmg and drag Platty to Applications. The first time, open it from System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway.

What should work

  • SSH sessions, SFTP, port forwarding, the vault and the rest of the app
  • Local terminals in a pseudo terminal, with bash, zsh and fish (your $SHELL first)
  • The vault key in the macOS Keychain, or in the system keyring on Linux (GNOME Keyring, KWallet) when one is running

Not yet

  • On Linux without a system keyring the vault key is stored unprotected: set a master password in Settings › Security
  • macOS shortcuts still use Ctrl instead of Cmd, and Apple Color Emoji isn't drawn yet
  • Native window decorations and drag and drop with the file manager or Finder
  • Signed builds, packages (Flatpak, .deb, .rpm, .dmg, Homebrew) and automatic updates
