Downloads

Platform	Files
Linux	Flatpak (.flatpak) and AppImage, x86_64 and aarch64
macOS 15+	.dmg, arm64 and x86_64
Windows 10/11	Installer (-setup.exe) and portable .zip, x64 and arm64

The AppImage needs a distribution at least as new as Ubuntu 26.04; older systems should use the Flatpak.

Known limitations

• The macOS and Windows builds are not code-signed. On macOS, right-click → Open the first time (or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Kikoe.app); Windows SmartScreen will warn on first start.
• Microphone recording and playback have only been verified on Linux; macOS and Windows have not been tested on real hardware.
