Wave Hub 0.2.5

Wave Hub is free, and always will be: one place to install, update and open the Wave apps
(BigWave Radio, ChipWave Tracker and StreamWave). No account, no ads, no tracking.
Made by Del (postmanpat).

What's new

  • The elephant icon now shows in Windows Explorer. The program, the setup and the uninstaller all show the Wave Hub elephant instead of a blank icon, at every size.
  • StreamWave on the Mac. StreamWave now has a Mac version, and Wave Hub installs it into Applications with its download checksum-checked. (0.2.4 picks it up too.)
  • Ready for ChipWave's new name. ChipWave Tracker is about to become ChipWave Studio, with a new GitHub address. Wave Hub now follows GitHub's "this project has moved" redirect, so ChipWave (or any app that moves) keeps installing and updating. Copies you already have are still found under the new name. Please update to 0.2.5 before the rename lands: older Wave Hub versions won't see new ChipWave releases after it.
  • The Mac read-me now says all three apps work on a Mac.

Upgrading keeps your installed apps and settings. On Windows, run the new setup over the old one; it updates the same entry in Installed apps. On a Mac, replace Wave Hub in Applications with the new one.

Which file do I download?

Windows (10 and later, 64-bit)

  • WaveHub-0.2.5-setup-x64.exe: the easy one. Installs Wave Hub just for you (no admin password), with a Start menu shortcut and an uninstaller.
  • WaveHub-0.2.5-windows-x64.zip: no install. Unzip it anywhere and double-click WaveHub.exe.

Linux, regular PCs (x86_64)

  • WaveHub-0.2.5-linux-x86_64.deb: Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Pop!_OS.
  • WaveHub-0.2.5-linux-x86_64.rpm: Fedora, openSUSE.
  • WaveHub-0.2.5-linux-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst: Arch, CachyOS, Manjaro, EndeavourOS (sudo pacman -U …).
  • WaveHub-0.2.5-linux-x86_64.AppImage: any Linux. Make it runnable (chmod +x), then run it.
  • WaveHub-0.2.5-linux-x86_64.tar.gz: any Linux, no package. Unpack it and run ./install.sh.

Linux, 64-bit ARM (Raspberry Pi 4/5 with a 64-bit OS, ARM laptops)

  • The same five files with aarch64 in the name.

macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel)

  • WaveHub-0.2.5-macos-universal.dmg: open it and drag Wave Hub into Applications. The first time, right-click Wave Hub and choose Open (it isn't notarised by Apple yet).
  • WaveHub-0.2.5-macos-universal.zip: the same app, zipped.

Checking your download: SHA256SUMS.txt lists a checksum for every file, including the copies without a version number.

WaveHub.exe and WaveHub-linux-x86_64 are the bare programs under 0.1.0's names, so older
copies' "Check for updates" links still work. New downloads should use the files above.

Windows may say it "protected your PC" because Wave Hub isn't code-signed yet: choose
More info → Run anyway.

Known limits

  • ChipWave Tracker has no Linux download yet. On Linux, Wave Hub links to its build-from-source instructions.
  • Wave Hub tells you when a newer Wave Hub is out and links to the download; it doesn't replace itself yet.
  • Wave Hub isn't code-signed (Windows) or notarised (macOS) yet.

Tried it? Please say how it went in Discussions or open an issue. Thank you!

Thank you, storytold

Wave Hub was inspired by storytold's ArtCraft Launcher and their Craft apps such as PhotoCraft. Their one-click install and update flow showed the way. Wave Hub's code and artwork are its own.
