Installation

Commandeck runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Every release lists the files for all three platforms together: GitHub Releases — that link always points to the newest version, so bookmark it.

All Pro builds include a 14-day free trial — no account, no card. The trial starts automatically on first launch.

Linux (AppImage)

One file, no installation. Download it, make it executable, and run it. The AppImage is self-contained — it bundles Python, Qt, and every dependency, so there is nothing to install on the host.

File When to use
Commandeck-Linux-x86_64.AppImage Free — Intel/AMD.
Commandeck-Linux-ARM64.AppImage Free — ARM64 (Raspberry Pi 4+, ARM server, Apple Silicon VM).
Commandeck-Pro-Linux-x86_64.AppImage Pro — Intel/AMD. 14-day trial included.
Commandeck-Pro-Linux-ARM64.AppImage Pro — ARM64. 14-day trial included.

Not sure which CPU you have? Run uname -m — x86_64 for Intel/AMD, aarch64 for ARM.

chmod +x Commandeck-*.AppImage
./Commandeck-*.AppImage

If your distro reports a missing Qt platform plugin on launch, install libxcb-cursor0:

sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0

sudo dnf install xcb-util-cursor

sudo pacman -S xcb-util-cursor

macOS (Apple Silicon)

File When to use
Commandeck-macOS-AppleSilicon.dmg Free.
Commandeck-Pro-macOS-AppleSilicon.dmg Pro. 14-day trial included.

Open the .dmg and drag Commandeck onto the Applications folder — let go once the folder highlights. Then eject the disk that appeared on your Desktop: an app launched from the .dmg itself will not work.

Intel Macs are not supported yet — the build is for Apple Silicon (M1 or later).

The app is not yet code-signed, so on first launch macOS shows "Apple could not verify that Commandeck is free of malware". Getting past it takes three steps:

  1. Click OK — never Move to Trash.
  2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and scroll down to Security: a line saying "Commandeck was blocked" offers Open Anyway. Click it and confirm with Touch ID or your password. That line only appears right after you tried to launch the app.
  3. Launch Commandeck again. The same warning comes back, but this time with one extra button: Open Anyway. Click it. This is the last time you will see it.

On macOS 15 and later, right-clicking the app → Open no longer works for unsigned apps. System Settings is the only way through.

If the button does not show up, the same thing from Terminal:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Commandeck.app

Windows (x86_64)

File When to use
Commandeck-Windows-x64.exe Free — installer (Start-menu shortcut + uninstaller).
Commandeck-Pro-Windows-x64.exe Pro installer. 14-day trial included.

Run the installer. It is not yet code-signed, so SmartScreen may warn you: click More info → Run anyway.

Updating

To update, download the latest installer from commandeck.app (or the releases page) and install it over your current version — your buttons and settings are kept.
