Pounce v1.2.0

Download the Bridge for your computer, run it, and scan the QR with the Pounce app.

• macOS (Apple Silicon): Pounce.dmg — open, drag Pounce to Applications, launch. Signed + notarized.
• Windows (x64): Pounce-Setup-Windows.exe — run it. Unsigned for now: if SmartScreen appears, choose More info → Run anyway.
• Ubuntu / Debian (x64 / arm64): Pounce-Linux-<arch>.deb — sudo apt install ./Pounce-Linux-<arch>.deb, then launch Pounce from your applications menu.
• Other Linux (x64 / arm64): Pounce-Setup-Linux-<arch>.tar.gz — extract, run ./installer (installs to ~/.local/share and adds a desktop entry).

Once running, Pounce sits in the tray: it shows today's usage and your plan quota, and "Show pairing window" brings up the QR to scan.

The stable-* files are auto-update artifacts — installed apps pick them up from the rolling bridge-latest release automatically. The .deb is the exception: it installs to root-owned /opt, which the in-place updater can't write to, so update it by installing a newer .deb. The .tar.gz install self-updates.

Pounce Desktop 1.0.46

Desktop app 1.0.46. Auto-updates via Sparkle; requires macOS 14+.

• macOS: Pounce.dmg — signed + notarized. Open, drag Pounce to Applications, launch.
• Windows / Linux (headless bridge): pounce-bridge.zip — unzip, then install.sh (Linux/macOS) or install.ps1 (Windows). Needs Node.js on the host; pair from the mobile app on the same Wi‑Fi.
