Which build fits?

Use the desktop app for visual sharing, use the CLI for terminal workflows

The desktop app is the best pick when you want detected local apps, visible Start and Stop actions, and a compact window. The ghs CLI is better for scripts, servers, terminal sessions, and repeatable command-line sharing.

Windows desktop Use Microsoft Store for the signed flow, or GitHub setup ZIP when you want the direct release package.
CLI on Windows or Linux Use ghs for scripted sharing, port scans, JSON output, and terminal sessions that stay open while the link is live.
Ubuntu and Debian Install desktop or CLI .deb packages with apt so dependencies are resolved cleanly.

Downloads

Choose Microsoft Store or GitHub release packages

Start with the signed Microsoft Store option for the Windows desktop app. The other buttons point at the current GitHub release assets, so the version can move forward without changing this page.

Windows Setup

Download the Windows desktop setup ZIP from GitHub when you want the direct release package instead of the Microsoft Store flow.

Platform
Windows x64
Package
GhostlyShareSetup_win-x64.zip

Windows may show SmartScreen or Defender because the setup executable is unsigned. For the desktop app, the Microsoft Store is the signed install option.

Windows CLI

Download the self-contained ghs.exe CLI for terminal, script, and server-style workflows on Windows.

Platform
Windows x64
Package
GhostlyShareCLI_win-x64.zip

Windows security note

Why Windows may warn before setup or CLI starts

The GitHub Windows setup ZIP and Windows CLI ZIP are direct unsigned downloads. Because there is no code-signing certificate yet, Windows may show a SmartScreen or Microsoft Defender warning before running the setup executable or ghs.exe. The Windows desktop app is also available through the signed Microsoft Store install flow.

Only run downloads you got from the official GhostlyShare release repository. If you prefer the signed Windows desktop install flow, use the Microsoft Store package instead of the GitHub setup ZIP.

Prefer a signed desktop flow? Use the Microsoft Store for the Windows desktop app. The CLI is still distributed from GitHub. Open Microsoft Store

CLI quick start

The ghs command is built for scans, scripts, and quick public links

After installing the CLI, use ghs scan to find local apps, ghs share with a port or local URL to publish one, and ghs doctor to check common network and tunnel prerequisites.
