Supported architectures
Linux ships x86_64 and aarch64 AppImages for Ubuntu 22.04+ era systems. macOS is available from the Mac App Store for macOS 13+ or as a direct universal app ZIP.
Install yanklog without hiding the trust tradeoff.
The Mac App Store is the simplest macOS path. The Linux app and shared Rust core are open source under MIT. On Linux, download and inspect the installer before running it, or build from source.
Update behavior
App Store installs update through the Mac App Store. Direct installs can use the tray/menu bar update item, in-app update dialog, or yanklog --update.
Linux installer behavior
The script downloads the AppImage and checksum, verifies SHA-256, installs to~/.local/bin/yanklog, creates desktop entries, and may add~/.local/bin to shell startup files unless you pass--no-path-update.
Build provenance
Linux AppImage releases publish SHA-256 checksums and build info files next to the binaries. The build info records the source commit, Cargo lockfile hash, Rust toolchain, build OS, and artifact hash.
Install on macOS from the Mac App Store
Recommended for most macOS users. Install yanklog for free and receive updates through Apple.
Install on Linux
Recommended Linux path: download the installer, read it, then run it. Requires glibc 2.35+.
