AppImage made using sharun and its wrapper quick-sharun, which makes it easy and reliable to turn any binary into a portable package without using containers or similar tricks.

This AppImage bundles everything and it should work on any Linux distro, including old and musl-based ones.

This AppImage doesn't require FUSE to run at all, thanks to the uruntime.

This AppImage is also supplied with the seamless self-updater by default, so any updates to this application won't be missed.
Self-updater doesn't run if AppImage managers like am or soar exist, which manage AppImage integration and updates.
There is also a prompt and config for opting-out of self-updates if desired.

Known quirk

  • Help page only works if gnome-help or other similar .page viewer is installed on the host's system.
    Bundling the help page viewer in the AppImage would make it work everywhere, but it's both bad for the file size and security, hence why we don't do that.
    • gnome-help v49.0 doesn't work with Help section of our GTK AppImages for some reason, while older versions, like v42.3 work.
