Install

Builds for every platform live on tinspec.dev/download — that page carries the current files, sizes, and SHA-256 checksums, so this page does not repeat them.

There is no sign-up and no licence key. The app is fully usable the moment it opens.

A signed and notarized universal .dmg — one file for both Apple Silicon and Intel. Open it and drag Tinspec to Applications; Gatekeeper will not complain.

Two formats:

  • .AppImage (x86-64) — mark it executable and run it. This is the build that can update itself in place.
  • .deb (Debian / Ubuntu, x86-64) — sudo apt install ./Tinspec_*.deb.

The AUR package tinspec-bin repacks the released .deb:

Terminal window
yay -S tinspec-bin

A per-user .exe installer (NSIS, x86-64). It is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen will warn on first run — choose More info → Run anyway.

The app checks for updates on startup and shows a toast when one is available.

InstallUpdate path
macOS .dmgUpdates itself
Linux .AppImageUpdates itself
Linux .debNotified only — update with your package manager
Arch (tinspec-bin)Notified only — update with your package manager
Windows .exeUpdates itself

Installs that cannot self-update say so in the toast and in About, rather than offering a button that would not work.

First run — creating a project and finding your way around.
