Download

FolioOrb runs on your machine — no FolioOrb account, hosted app, telemetry, or cloud sync. Download the desktop app for macOS or Windows below (no Python, no terminal), or run it in your browser as a local web app from source on any platform with Python 3.11+.

The buttons above always resolve to the newest stable release. You can also browse every release or use the landing page with platform-aware download buttons.

Release channels

Channel	Where it comes from	Who it’s for
Stable	A version tag (v5.16.1), cut manually	Everyone. This is the default download.
latest-main	Refreshed automatically on every merge to main	Testing the newest changes; may be unstable.

The latest-main prerelease has a direct Development build link on the website and in the releases list. It always holds a single, newest build straight from main.

Early builds are unsigned

FolioOrb doesn’t have a paid Apple or Windows code-signing certificate yet, so macOS and Windows will show a warning the first time you open it. This is expected for an open-source app. The macOS and Windows guides show exactly what you’ll see and how to proceed. See Releases & versioning for the signing roadmap.

Verify your download

Current v5 releases include SHA256SUMS.txt. After downloading one platform asset and the manifest from the same release, confirm that asset matches:

# macOS — verify only the DMG you downloaded, not the absent Windows asset
grep 'FolioOrb-macOS-arm64-v5.16.1.dmg$' SHA256SUMS.txt | shasum -a 256 -c -

# Windows PowerShell — compare against the line in SHA256SUMS.txt
Get-FileHash .\FolioOrb-Windows-x64-v5.16.1-Setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256

A match detects whether the asset differs from SHA256SUMS.txt in that same GitHub release. Because FolioOrb does not yet publish a configured Minisign signature, this is an integrity check—not independent proof of who published the manifest.

Prefer to run from source?

The install scripts and the build-from-source guide support macOS, Windows, and Linux with Python 3.11+. One-line installs keep their writable profile outside the replaceable source tree and retain a recovery copy when migrating an older install.
