The Mac App Store is the simplest macOS path. The Linux app and shared Rust core are open source under MIT. Direct macOS and Linux builds are also available through inspectable installers.
Linux 2.2.2 ships x86_64 and aarch64 AppImages for Ubuntu 22.04+ era systems, plus a Flatpak package for distributions with Flatpak support. macOS 1.3.1 is available from the Mac App Store for macOS 13+ or as a direct universal app ZIP.
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.
All current builds include complete-history search, Quick Pick, privacy filters, timed pause, safe deletion, onboarding, and encrypted backup and restore. Update delivery and desktop integration differ by channel.
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.
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.
Recommended for most macOS users. Install yanklog for free and receive updates through Apple.
Recommended Linux path: download the installer, read it, then run it. Requires glibc 2.35+. Prefer Flatpak? See the Flatpak option below.
