A push to main publishes canary builds to canary channels (fast iteration,
unchanged); a single vX.Y.Z tag releases every platform at one version to the
stable channels and attaches all artifacts (.deb/.rpm/.msix/.apk/.aab/.dmg +
flatpak/decky/host-installer) to one Gitea Release. Collapses the
host-v*/win-v*/host-win-v* tag namespaces into v* — the channel split makes the
version-shadow bug structurally impossible (canary and stable are separate repos,
never a shared version line).
- scripts/ci/gitea-release.{sh,ps1}: one idempotent release helper
(create-or-fetch + delete-before-upload), replacing 3 copy-pasted inline blocks
and fixing their latent 409-on-reupload bug; prerelease flag auto-derived from
the tag (an -rc tag won't shadow "Latest")
- channels: apt canary/stable distributions; rpm *-canary/base groups; flatpak
canary/stable OSTree branches + a 2nd .Canary.flatpakref; generic-registry
canary/ vs latest/ aliases; Play internal/alpha; Apple TestFlight vs notarized DMG
- android versionName threaded through gradle (versionCode stays run_number);
Apple canary = TestFlight-only (no DMG/tvOS); canary base bumped to 0.3.0
- docs: new docs-site channels.md (subscribe table + cut-a-release runbook +
box migration), refreshed ci.md workflow table + packaging READMEs

title: Install a Client
|
|
description: Install the punktfunk client for the device you're streaming to — Linux, Steam Deck, Windows, macOS, iOS, or Android.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
This page is the **install path for each client device**. For what each client *is* and which to
|
|
pick, see [Clients](/docs/clients); to install the **host**, see [Install the Host](/docs/install).
|
|
Whichever client you install, the first connection needs a one-time [pairing](/docs/pairing).
|
|
|
|
> The links below are the **stable** channel (moves on `vX.Y.Z` releases). For the latest `main`
|
|
> build, use the **canary** channel — TestFlight / Play Internal, the `…Canary.flatpakref`, or the
|
|
> `canary/` download URLs. See [Release Channels](/docs/channels).
|
|
|
|
## Pick your device
|
|
|
|
| Device | Install |
|
|
|--------|---------|
|
|
| **Linux** desktop / laptop | [Flatpak](#linux-desktop-flatpak) (any distro) or native apt/rpm/Arch packages |
|
|
| **Steam Deck** | [Flatpak in Desktop Mode](#steam-deck) (or the Decky plugin) |
|
|
| **Windows** | [Signed MSIX](#windows) from the package registry |
|
|
| **macOS** | [Notarized `.dmg`](#macos) from the releases page |
|
|
| **iPhone / iPad / Apple TV** | [TestFlight beta](#ios-ipados-apple-tv) |
|
|
| **Android / Android TV** | [Google Play](#android) |
|
|
| Anything else (browser, old phone, TV) | [Moonlight](/docs/moonlight) |
|
|
|
|
## Linux desktop (Flatpak)
|
|
|
|
The **recommended** path on any Flatpak distro — install once, then `flatpak update` tracks new
|
|
builds. One command adds the signed `unom` remote, pulls the GNOME runtime from Flathub
|
|
automatically, and installs the client:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
flatpak install --user https://flatpak.unom.io/io.unom.Punktfunk.flatpakref
|
|
flatpak run io.unom.Punktfunk
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Updates, from then on:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
flatpak update # or: flatpak update io.unom.Punktfunk
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Prefer your native package manager? The client also ships as real packages (add the repo once —
|
|
see the linked guide — then it tracks updates with your normal `apt upgrade` / `rpm-ostree upgrade`):
|
|
|
|
| Distro | Install | Guide |
|
|
|--------|---------|-------|
|
|
| **Ubuntu / Debian** | `sudo apt install punktfunk-client` | [packaging/debian](https://git.unom.io/unom/punktfunk/src/branch/main/packaging/debian/README.md) |
|
|
| **Fedora / Bazzite** | `rpm-ostree install punktfunk-client` | [packaging/rpm](https://git.unom.io/unom/punktfunk/src/branch/main/packaging/rpm/README.md) |
|
|
| **Arch / SteamOS** | `punktfunk-client` from the `PKGBUILD` | [packaging/arch](https://git.unom.io/unom/punktfunk/src/branch/main/packaging/arch/README.md) |
|
|
|
|
Then launch it, pick your host from the list, and stream. For scripting, skip the picker:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
punktfunk-client --connect <host>:9777
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Steam Deck
|
|
|
|
In **Desktop Mode**, install the Flatpak exactly as [above](#linux-desktop-flatpak) — it carries
|
|
its own libadwaita + SDL3 and survives SteamOS updates:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
flatpak install --user https://flatpak.unom.io/io.unom.Punktfunk.flatpakref
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add it to Game Mode as a non-Steam app, or use the **Decky plugin**, which launches this same
|
|
Flatpak (`flatpak run io.unom.Punktfunk --connect …`). See
|
|
[packaging/flatpak](https://git.unom.io/unom/punktfunk/src/branch/main/packaging/flatpak/README.md).
|
|
|
|
## Windows
|
|
|
|
The Windows client ships as a **signed MSIX** in the package registry. Builds use a self-signed
|
|
certificate, so you import that certificate once before Windows will install the package.
|
|
|
|
1. Open the [packages page](https://git.unom.io/unom/-/packages) (generic group), find
|
|
**`punktfunk-client-windows`**, and download the newest **`.msix`** and its matching **`.cer`**.
|
|
2. **Trust the publisher certificate**, then install. The MSIX won't install until the certificate is
|
|
trusted — but it's the **same certificate for every release**, so this is genuinely one-time and
|
|
later updates need nothing. In an **admin** PowerShell:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
Import-Certificate -FilePath .\punktfunk-client-windows.cer `
|
|
-CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\TrustedPeople
|
|
Add-AppxPackage .\punktfunk-client-windows.msix
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If Windows reports a missing dependency, install the
|
|
[Windows App Runtime 2.x](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/downloads)
|
|
(the MSIX depends on `Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.2`), then re-run `Add-AppxPackage`.
|
|
|
|
3. Launch **Punktfunk** from the Start menu and pick your host.
|
|
|
|
> The Windows client's hardware-decode (D3D11VA) and HDR paths are complete but still pending
|
|
> validation on real GPU hardware. If anything misbehaves, **[Moonlight](/docs/moonlight)** is a
|
|
> solid alternative for Windows.
|
|
|
|
## macOS
|
|
|
|
Download the notarized disk image from the [releases page](https://git.unom.io/unom/punktfunk/releases)
|
|
— `Punktfunk-<version>.dmg`. It's Developer-ID signed, notarized, and stapled, so Gatekeeper opens
|
|
it without warnings:
|
|
|
|
1. Open `Punktfunk-<version>.dmg` and drag **Punktfunk** to **Applications**.
|
|
2. Launch it, pick your host from *On this network*, and [pair](/docs/pairing).
|
|
|
|
The Mac app is also in the [TestFlight beta](https://testflight.apple.com/join/Qr7uSemk); the DMG
|
|
is the no-account path.
|
|
|
|
## iOS, iPadOS, Apple TV
|
|
|
|
The Apple app is in **TestFlight** beta — one universal build covers iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and the
|
|
Mac. Install Apple's [TestFlight](https://apps.apple.com/app/testflight/id899247664) app, then join:
|
|
|
|
**[Join the punktfunk beta on TestFlight →](https://testflight.apple.com/join/Qr7uSemk)**
|
|
|
|
Open the app, and your hosts appear automatically under *On this network*.
|
|
|
|
## Android
|
|
|
|
The Android client (phone + Android TV) is on **Google Play**:
|
|
|
|
**[Get punktfunk on Google Play →](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.unom.punktfunk)**
|
|
|
|
Install, open the app, and pick your host. _(The app is in testing — if the listing isn't visible
|
|
to you yet, you'll need to be added to the test track.)_
|
|
|
|
## Anything else — Moonlight
|
|
|
|
Any device with a [Moonlight](https://moonlight-stream.org/) client (browser, old phone, smart TV)
|
|
connects over GameStream with no punktfunk-specific software. See
|
|
[Connect with Moonlight](/docs/moonlight).
