New in 0.6.5
- Glance for Linux. Download a package for Ubuntu 22.04+ and Debian 12+ (
.deb) or Fedora 42+ (.rpm), for Intel/AMD and ARM64 PCs. It includes the AI tools, adds Glance to Open With for PDFs, images and its other file types, and keeps saved signatures and AI API keys in your login keyring (GNOME Keyring or KWallet). Features that need Windows, such as Text Recognition, scanning and certificate signing, are hidden on Linux. - A safer connection for AI apps on Linux. The address AI apps use to reach Glance is kept in a private folder only your account can open, never in a shared temporary folder, and Glance checks it hasn't been tampered with before using it.
- Glance in Windows 11's main right-click menu (Microsoft Store version). Open in Glance, Combine into PDF and Remove Location Info (for photos) now appear without Show more options. With the installer from GitHub they stay under Show more options.
Install help
Windows. Run the installer; it installs for your account only, without administrator rights. SmartScreen warns about an unknown publisher because releases aren't code-signed yet: click More info → Run anyway. To open PDFs or images with Glance, pick it in Settings → Apps → Default apps → Glance. Needs Windows 10 (1809+) or 11; the installer fetches WebView2 if it's missing.
Ubuntu or Debian. sudo apt install ./Glance-…-linux-amd64.deb (or the arm64 file).
Fedora. sudo dnf install ./Glance-…-linux-x86_64.rpm (or the aarch64 file).
Check a download. Its SHA-256 hash is in SHA256SUMS.txt and SHA256SUMS-linux.txt: run Get-FileHash in PowerShell, or sha256sum -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS-linux.txt on Linux.
Which processor? Most PCs are Intel or AMD. ARM means Snapdragon laptops, Surface Pro X and similar; on Windows, Settings → System → About → System type says which.
