Get the apps

All of them connect to your own server. Downloads are on the Clients page and on GitHub Releases.

	What	Notes
macOS	Storm-<version>-macos-arm64.zip (Apple Silicon)	Ad-hoc signed, not notarized: macOS may ask you to allow it on first launch.
Windows	storm-app-windows-x86_64.zip (Windows 10/11, x64)	Unzip anywhere and run storm.exe; nothing else to install. Not code-signed: SmartScreen may warn (“More info”, then “Run anyway”).
Linux	storm-app_<version>-1_amd64.deb (Debian, Ubuntu) or storm-app-<version>-x86_64-linux.tar.gz (any distribution, x86_64)	Needs GTK 3 and libsecret; LAN discovery needs Avahi.
Android	storm-<version>.apk	A direct APK: Android may ask you to allow installing from this source.
Web	Served by your server	Open http://<server>:8484. Nothing to install.

The installers put the app in for you. On Windows, in PowerShell (no administrator needed for the app alone):

& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://dewanshdt.github.io/Storm/install.ps1))) -App

On Linux, install.sh --app installs the storm-app package on Debian and Ubuntu (sudo apt install storm-app once the Storm apt repository is set up), and anywhere else unpacks the tarball into ~/.local/share/storm-app with a launcher entry, without root:

curl -fsSL https://dewanshdt.github.io/Storm/install.sh | sh -s -- --app

On Linux without a running Secret Service (gnome-keyring or KWallet), Storm keeps its sign-in in its own settings instead, and Settings › Advanced says so.

Only one Storm runs at a time on a desktop: opening it again brings the running window forward.

Update the native apps yourself when a release lands: download the new build and replace the old one, or run the installer again (on Linux with apt, sudo apt upgrade does it). The web app updates with the server.

Next: pair the device.
