Native desktop shells for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Same product model as the Swift macOS app: auto-start local awareness-api, open the loopback dashboard in an embedded window (no system browser required).

Install
macOS: Open the DMG → drag Awareness.app to Applications → first launch: right-click → Open (ad-hoc signed).
Windows: Run Awareness-0.3.0-win-x64.exe, or extract the zip.
Linux:
chmod +x Awareness-0.3.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage
./Awareness-0.3.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage
# or:
sudo dpkg -i Awareness-0.3.0-linux-amd64.debPython engine (required on all platforms)
The desktop app is a thin shell over the local API — same contract as macOS:
git clone https://github.com/nazmiefearmutcu/awareness.git
cd awareness
uv sync # or: python3 -m venv .venv && pip install -e .
# optional discovery path the app looks for:
# macOS/Linux: ln -s "$PWD" ~/awareness_dev
# Windows: mklink /J %USERPROFILE%\awareness_dev %CD%Env overrides: AWARENESS_API_BIN, AWARENESS_REPO, AW_API_HOST, AW_API_PORT (default 127.0.0.1:8085).
