Installation

Lopload ships prebuilt packages for every desktop platform on the GitHub releases page.

Platform	Package
macOS (Apple Silicon)	.dmg
Windows (x64)	.msi (installer) · .exe (portable)
Linux (x64)	.deb · .rpm · .AppImage

macOS

Open the .dmg and drag Lopload into Applications.

Gatekeeper warning on first launch

macOS builds are not notarized yet, so Gatekeeper warns the first time you open the app. Right-click the app → Open (once), or clear the quarantine flag:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Lopload.app

Windows

Run the .msi installer, or use the portable .exe if you prefer no installation step.

Linux

Install the .deb (Debian/Ubuntu) or .rpm (Fedora/RHEL) with your package manager, or make the .AppImage executable and run it directly:

chmod +x Lopload_*.AppImage
./Lopload_*.AppImage

Staying up to date

Lopload checks GitHub Releases for a new version on startup (and at most every 24 hours while it stays open) and offers a “restart to update” prompt — never a forced or silent update. See Auto-updates for how updates are signed and verified.

Building from source

git clone https://github.com/baronunread/lopload.git
cd lopload
bun install
bun run tauri build

Production builds always store credentials in the native OS keychain — no environment variables or config files needed. For development, use bun run tauri dev (the app needs the Tauri webview; a plain browser tab only shows a “requires the desktop app” notice).
