Good to know

  • Windows SmartScreen. The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows may say it protected your PC. Choose More info → Run anyway; the SHA-256 of every file is listed above.
  • Linux. Install with sudo apt install ./kafdesk_0.2.8_amd64.deb or sudo dnf install ./kafdesk-0.2.8.x86_64.rpm. KafDesk checks kafdesk.com for new versions only if you allow it in Settings.
  • AI agents. The MCP server kafdesk-mcp is installed next to the app; KafDesk → AI agents adds it to Claude Code, Cursor or Codex.
  • Licence. After buying, your key is in the Polar customer portal; paste it in KafDesk → License….
