⚠ This is a pre-release and it may contain bugs. We're looking for your feedback to make it better!

It is time for a breath of fresh air 🌬 here, on IPFS Desktop. For this release we decided to keep things simple and working. We now have a completely redesigned interface with an integration with Web UI like you've never seen before.

Features

• Easy install for first time users on IPFS
• Run your daemon without needing to touch the command line
• Automatic updates for Windows and macOS
• 🌐 More international than ever!
  • ✍️ If your language needs more work please help by contributing translations for Desktop and Web UI 🙌
• Access to all the features Web UI can give you:
  • 💻 Node Status
  • 📁 Your precious files
  • 🧙🏾‍♂️ The magical discovery of the Merkle Forest
  • 🌍 Your peers

Known Issues

• Signed binaries for macOS and Windows are planned for January. Right now, when installing, you may be told the binary isn't safe because of it.
  • macOS (#66)
  • Windows (#705)
• If you install the Snap package, you'll need to use the --dangerous flag due to missing metadata (#757)
• The drag'n'drop target is small when there are no files in the directory, making it hard to drop them (ipfs/ipfs-webui#916)
• On Linux, you may need to click twice on the button for the first time for it to work (#758)
