Current release v0.6.2 · MIT licence · free, no account. Every artefact is self-contained — the .NET runtime is inside it.

Latest release on GitHub ↗ All releases ↗
Releases are not code-signed yet. Windows shows a "Windows protected your PC" SmartScreen warning the first time — verify the download against checksums.txt (instructions below) and proceed. Nothing on Linux is signed either; there is no apt repository behind the .deb.

Install steps

Windows — installer

Download the -setup.exe for your architecture and run it. It installs for your user only, so there is no elevation prompt, and adds a Start-menu entry. Uninstalling leaves your connections and settings alone unless you say otherwise.

Windows — portable

Right-click the zip → Properties → Unblock before extracting, then run RemoteFlow.exe. Nothing is installed, and nothing is written outside %APPDATA%\RemoteFlow and %LOCALAPPDATA%\RemoteFlow.

Windows SmartScreen

Releases are not code-signed yet, so Windows shows “Windows protected your PC” the first time. Verify against checksums.txt first — see below — then choose More info → Run anyway. The upstream troubleshooting entry has the details.

Linux — Debian/Ubuntu package

sudo apt install ./remoteflow_0.6.2_amd64.deb

Install with apt, not dpkg -i, so dependencies resolve. It installs to /opt/remoteflow, symlinks /usr/bin/remoteflow, and registers a desktop launcher and icons. Uninstalling leaves your data alone: everything RemoteFlow writes follows the XDG base directory spec and lives under $HOME.

Linux — portable tarball

tar xzf RemoteFlow-0.6.2-linux-x64.tar.gz
./RemoteFlow

Self-contained; unpack and run. No icon or desktop entry — those come from the package.

macOS — build from source

git clone https://github.com/michaelou/RemoteFlow.git
cd RemoteFlow && dotnet build
dotnet run --project src/RemoteFlow.Desktop

Needs .NET SDK 10.0.300 or newer; the repository's global.json pins the feature band. On Debian/Ubuntu, install the SDK with dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh rather than apt, whose package tracks a band global.json rejects.

Verify a download

# Windows (PowerShell)
Get-FileHash .\RemoteFlow-0.6.2-win-x64-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256

# Linux / macOS
sha256sum RemoteFlow-0.6.2-linux-x64.tar.gz

Compare the hash against the line in checksums.txt. That proves the file arrived intact — the real guarantee of origin is the HTTPS connection to github.com.

Self-updating (Windows and Linux installs). If — and only if — you switch the update check on, RemoteFlow can install a newer release itself: it downloads the installer from github.com, verifies it against the SHA-256 in that release's checksums.txt, and only then closes, installs and reopens. If the checksum does not match, nothing is installed and the download is deleted. Portable copies say so and update by hand.
