Which build suits you?

Use the desktop app for visual sharing and the CLI for terminal workflows

The desktop app is ideal for detected local apps, visible Start and Stop controls, and a compact window. The ghs CLI suits scripts, servers, terminal sessions, and repeatable command-line sharing.

Windows desktop Use Microsoft Store for the signed installation, or GitHub setup ZIP for the direct release package.
CLI for Windows or Linux Use ghs for scripted sharing, port scanning, JSON output, and terminal sessions that remain active while the link is live.
Ubuntu and Debian Install desktop or CLI .deb packages using apt to ensure dependencies are handled correctly.

Download the Windows desktop setup ZIP from GitHub if you prefer the direct release package over the Microsoft Store version.

Windows CLI

Download the standalone ghs.exe CLI for terminal, scripting, and server workflows on Windows.

Windows security notice

Why Windows might warn before setup or CLI launch

The GitHub Windows setup ZIP and Windows CLI ZIP are direct unsigned downloads. Without a code-signing certificate, Windows may display SmartScreen or Microsoft Defender warnings before running the setup or ghs.exe. The Windows desktop app is also available via the signed Microsoft Store installation.

Only run downloads from the official GhostlyShare release repository. For the signed Windows desktop install, use the Microsoft Store package rather than the GitHub setup ZIP.

Prefer a signed desktop installation? Use the Microsoft Store for the Windows desktop app. The CLI remains available via GitHub. Open the Store

CLI quick start

The ghs command is designed for scans, scripting, and rapid public links

Once the CLI is installed, run ghs scan to locate local apps, ghs share with a port or local URL to publish one, and ghs doctor to verify common network and tunnel requirements.
