Download

The current version is v0.1.3. Every file below, with its SHA-256, is listed in checksums.txt; all versions live on the releases page.

macOS

One download for both Apple Silicon and Intel:

Open it and drag Fastpotify to Applications.

First open on macOS

This build is not yet notarized with Apple, so macOS blocks it the first time. Recent macOS versions (Sequoia and later) no longer let you bypass this with a right-click, so you open it once through Privacy & Security:

  1. Double-click Fastpotify in Applications. macOS says it cannot be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. Click Done (do not click Move to Trash).
  2. Open System Settings, then Privacy & Security.
  3. Scroll down to the Security section, find “Fastpotify was blocked to protect your Mac”, and click Open Anyway.
  4. Authenticate, then click Open Anyway once more.

macOS remembers the choice: every launch after this is an ordinary double-click. This step disappears once notarized builds ship.

Windows

Almost every PC wants the first one; the second is for Windows on ARM:

Unpack and run fastpotify.exe. SmartScreen may warn about an unknown publisher on first run; choose More info, then Run anyway.

Linux

Arch Linux

Fastpotify is in the AUR, with the desktop entry and icon installed for you:

yay -S fastpotify          # the released build
yay -S fastpotify-git      # built from the latest commit

Other distributions

Unpack, put fastpotify on your PATH, and copy the desktop entry and icon from the bundled packaging/ directory if you want it in your launcher. Runtime needs are the ordinary desktop libraries: ALSA, PulseAudio or PipeWire, and Wayland or X11.

Or build from source: see Getting Started.
