Download and launch the OpenPets desktop app on macOS, Windows, or Linux.

OpenPets is distributed from the public GitHub releases page.

Windows release installers are signed. macOS builds may still be unsigned, so macOS can show a security warning the first time you open the app.

If macOS blocks the app after you drag it into Applications, remove the quarantine attribute:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OpenPets.app

Then open OpenPets again.

The Linux AppImage is the main portable package. Make it executable if your file manager does not offer to run it:

chmod +x OpenPets-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage

OpenPets has dedicated Wayland notes for drag and window behavior in Wayland.

OpenPets adds a tray/menu bar icon and shows a pet on the desktop. Use the Control Center to manage pets, integrations, plugins, and settings.

If the app starts but a CLI or agent cannot reach it, run:

npx @open-pets/cli status

Then continue with Troubleshooting.
