Public downloads

Download CF Guard Desk and start the local-first trial workflow.

The public site keeps download state honest: Windows first, macOS and Linux staged until the matching artifact path, packaging, and rollout confidence are actually ready.

Release snapshot

Public installers, rollout state, and platform guidance in one place.

0.9.0 owner build is the current public baseline. Hosted links go live when the corresponding Cloudflare-backed artifact path is configured and verified.

Release state

Need the rollout reality, not the ideal?

The changelog and build docs explain what shipped, what is staged, and why platform availability differs right now.

Artifacts

Choose the installer that matches the current public rollout.

The release browser below lists artifact state, package type, architecture, and rollout notes so you can see what is live, staged, or waiting on the download host.

Release Browser

Choose the desktop build that matches the current rollout stage, then use the trial before committing to a paid plan.

The browser is modeled more like a release index than a feature grid: artifact state, availability, and install context stay visible so the public site never outruns the real distribution path.

Ready to publish

Unsigned early-access installers may still trigger SmartScreen on some Windows systems.

Confirm the artifact URL and version first, then use the troubleshooting guidance if Windows blocks the installer. Read troubleshooting for the full flow.

macOS

Coming soon

macOS packaging currently depends on a macOS host and Apple signing or notarization flow.

If unsigned evaluation builds are distributed, Gatekeeper recovery steps remain part of the documented install path. Read troubleshooting for the full flow.

Commercial state

Staged launch behavior

Pricing is public immediately. Checkout and download URLs become live when the corresponding Cloudflare-backed host and release artifact are actually ready.
