Download xQuakShell 1.5.0

Portable archives: unpack and run. No installer, no registry, nothing written outside the folder.

Choose an archive

Platform	Archive	Choose it when
Windows	`…-windows-amd64-portable.zip`	The machine has the WebView2 runtime: Windows 11 and most Windows 10 installs
Windows	`…-windows-amd64-portable-webview2.zip`	Clean or offline machines. WebView2 Fixed Runtime is bundled
Linux	`…-linux-amd64-webkit4.1.tar.gz`	Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora 40+, Arch. Start here
Linux	`…-linux-amd64-webkit4.0.tar.gz`	Older systems that still carry webkit2gtk-4.0

Linux builds require glibc 2.35 or newer. If the wrong WebKit archive is unpacked, the launcher says so and names the package to install. ./install-desktop-entry.sh adds it to the application menu.

Verify

Every release publishes SHA256SUMS covering all archives.

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing

On Windows, PowerShell:

Get-FileHash .\xQuakShell-v1.5.0-windows-amd64-portable.zip -Algorithm SHA256

First run

Windows SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC” because the binaries are not code-signed. Choose More info, then Run anyway, after verifying the checksum.
Create the vault. Set a master password and store the recovery key; it is shown once.
Import from ~/.ssh/config or PuTTY, or create a connection with Ctrl+Shift+N.

Sync server

Only needed if you sync devices or work in a team. Released with the application: Windows x86-64, Linux x86-64 and ARM64, and the container image ghcr.io/teoritty/xqsyncd. See Sync and teams.

Nightly

The nightly pre-release is rebuilt from main whenever it moves and replaced in place. Use a tagged release for anything you rely on.

Build from source

Requirement	Version
Go	1.26.10+
Node.js	20.19+ or 22.12+
Wails CLI	v2.17.0 exactly, matching `go.mod`

go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@v2.17.0
git clone https://github.com/teoritty/xQuakShell.git
cd xQuakShell
make install
make build              # Linux: make build WEBKIT=4.1
make portable           # Windows, bundles WebView2

Output goes to build/bin/. On Linux, make deps-linux prints the system packages to install.
