Installation & supported platforms

Installers are built as DMG and ZIP (both architectures in release builds). After opening the DMG, drag weballoon into Applications (or use your usual workflow).

Deep link: The app registers the weballoon:// scheme so email magic links can return to the app when you click them.

The release format is NSIS (installer) for x64 and arm64.

Same weballoon:// scheme applies for magic-link completion.

Release builds use AppImage (x64 and arm64). Automatic in-app updates on Linux may only work when you installed from a supported release package (the app explains if updates are unavailable in your environment).

In Settings, under the account area, the App Updates card lets you check for updates and, when a download is ready, restart to update. If an update is downloaded in the background, weballoon may prompt you to restart when it is convenient.

Some environments (for example local development builds) do not offer automatic updates; the card will say updates are unavailable and why.

weballoon is a desktop web runtime. For smooth use, a normal modern computer with a few gigabytes of free RAM is enough; each open or background app uses additional memory (see Hibernation & memory).
