Installing

macOS says OctoTray “can’t be opened”

Early builds are not yet notarized by Apple. Open the downloaded app once with right-click → Open, then confirm. Or go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.

Windows shows “Windows protected your PC”

Early builds are not yet code-signed. Select More info, then Run anyway.

Linux: which file do I need?

Use the .deb on Debian and Ubuntu, the .rpm on Fedora and openSUSE, or the .AppImage anywhere else. Make the AppImage executable with chmod +x. The tray icon needs a desktop with a system tray, such as KDE Plasma. On GNOME, OctoTray opens as a normal window.
