Pitwall for macOS, Linux and Windows (preview). Free and open source under Apache-2.0. Early builds, not code-signed yet: each card says what the first launch looks like.

Files are on GitHub Releases. SHA256SUMS.txt Changelog All files

macOS

Apple silicon and Intel, one universal build.

First launch

  1. Open the .dmg and drag Pitwall to Applications.
  2. The app isn't signed with an Apple Developer ID yet, so a double-click is blocked the first time. Right-click Pitwall.app → Open, then Open again. Or: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
  3. If macOS says the app is damaged, clear the quarantine flag:
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Pitwall.app
  4. Reading projects in Desktop or Documents makes macOS ask for folder access. The welcome screen offers Full Disk Access instead; until builds are signed, macOS may ask again after an update.

Windows

Windows 10 1809+ or 11, x64. Preview: new and less tested than macOS.

First launch

  1. The builds aren't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC": click More info → Run anyway.
  2. Check the download against SHA256SUMS.txt first:
    Get-FileHash .\Pitwall_*_x64-setup.exe
  3. Closing the window keeps Pitwall in the tray.

Linux

x86_64, glibc 2.35+ (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 36 or newer).

First launch

  1. AppImage, any distribution (needs FUSE 2: libfuse2, or libfuse2t64 on Ubuntu 24.04):
    chmod +x Pitwall_*_amd64.AppImage
    ./Pitwall_*_amd64.AppImage
  2. Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives; installs the libraries it needs too:
    sudo apt install ./Pitwall_*_amd64.deb
  3. Hooks reach Pitwall through curl; the .deb depends on it, with the AppImage install it if it's missing.
  4. Pitwall draws with Vulkan, so it needs a working Vulkan driver (Mesa's on most distributions).

Build from source

Rust (rustup) and a few system packages per platform; the steps for each OS, including the Linux libraries, are in the quick start and the README.
