Get Wobu

Every bundle is built by GitHub Actions from a tagged commit and published on the repository's releases page. There is no other download host, and no installer here phones home.

Beta bundles are unsigned

Wobu does not yet hold Apple Developer ID or Windows code-signing credentials, so the release workflow deliberately holds no signing secrets. macOS Gatekeeper and Windows SmartScreen will warn. Confirm that a download came from this repository's releases page before bypassing any warning, and never install a Wobu bundle copied to another host.

Updates are manual: there is no updater endpoint and no update check. Install a newer release over the old one — your projects are ordinary folders and live outside the application.

Full install guidance →

Choose a platform

  • Linux

    .AppImage, .deb, .rpm

    Prefer the package for your distribution. For the AppImage, make it executable with chmod +x Wobu_*.AppImage and run it. Linux packages are not repository-signed, so your package manager cannot establish publisher identity.

    Latest release

  • macOS

    .dmg

    Drag Wobu into Applications. On first launch, control-click Wobu and choose Open, then confirm Open — an unsigned app has no double-click path past Gatekeeper.

    Latest release

  • Windows

    .msi, .exe

    Run the installer. If SmartScreen appears, check that the publisher is shown as unknown, select More info, then Run anyway. An unexpected named publisher is a reason to stop, not an improvement.

    Latest release

Pick the asset matching your platform from the release's Assets list. Compare the release tag with the version shown in Wobu's About panel after installing.

Or run it from source

You need Node.js 22 and npm, the Rust toolchain (the pinned version installs itself via rustup), and the Tauri 2 system prerequisites for your platform. 

git clone https://github.com/krazyjakee/wobu.git
cd wobu
npm ci
cd src-tauri && rustup toolchain install --no-self-update && cd ..
npm run tauri dev

After it opens

Create a project from the Launcher, start with its Style Guide and World Canon, add broad world layers before individual characters, then add your provider keys in Settings. Keys are stored in the operating-system keychain, never inside a project folder.
