Skriuw

Free · open source · no account required

Install it.
Keep your data.

Skriuw runs natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The browser build uses the same Rust core and keeps its database in browser-local storage.

Install channels

Use the package manager already on your machine.

Every desktop build stores the workspace locally in SQLite. Package-manager installs and direct release assets run the same application.

macOS

Homebrew

Install the signed desktop application through a dedicated cask.

$ brew tap remcostoeten/skriuw https://github.com/remcostoeten/skriuw
$ brew install --cask skriuw

Windows

Scoop

Add the Skriuw bucket once, then install and update from the terminal.

> scoop bucket add skriuw https://github.com/remcostoeten/skriuw
> scoop install skriuw

Debian / Ubuntu

APT

The repository publishes signed packages for Debian-family systems.

$ curl -fsSL https://remcostoeten.github.io/skriuw/apt/key.gpg \
  | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/skriuw.gpg
$ echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/skriuw.gpg] https://remcostoeten.github.io/skriuw/apt stable main" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skriuw.list
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install skriuw

Fedora / RHEL

dnf

Use the published RPM repository, or download an RPM directly.

$ sudo dnf config-manager addrepo \
  --from-repofile=https://remcostoeten.github.io/skriuw/rpm/skriuw.repo
$ sudo dnf install skriuw

Direct .dmg, .exe/.msi, .deb, .rpm, and AppImage files are attached to each GitHub release. The AUR package can lag behind while upstream publication is paused; Winget and Snap are not current install channels.
