Public download host for the Linggen macOS app.
Linggen is a local AI app engine — the core runtime (engine source) hosts skills as full-featured native apps. The app bundles the engine and its skills into one
.app, served from a local daemon (http://127.0.0.1:9527) with all state under~/.linggen/.
Curl rather than a browser download on purpose: macOS attaches a quarantine
attribute to anything a browser fetches, and these builds are ad-hoc signed
rather than notarized, so a downloaded copy would be blocked on first launch.
The installer fetches the tarball, checks its sha256, and puts Linggen.app
in /Applications.
On first launch the app starts the bundled ling engine on 127.0.0.1:9527,
or reuses a healthy daemon already listening there. The daemon shuts itself
down after 5 minutes idle. Updates arrive through the app's own updater.
One app, one launcher, several skills as tabs:
ling-mem daemonMac Shifu (formerly Sys Doctor) and CFO were once separate downloads. They are
skills inside the one app now, and linggen.dev/install-sys-doctor.sh and
install-cfo.sh redirect here.
| Tag pattern | Where | What |
|---|---|---|
linggen-v<version> | this repo | the macOS app tarball + .sha256 |
<version>, no prefix | linggen/linggen | the ling engine binary, macOS and Linux |
v<version> | linggen/linggen-memory | the ling-mem memory daemon |
Only the app is hosted here. It bundles its own copy of the engine, so the app version and the engine version move independently.
Builds are macOS arm64, ad-hoc signed, not notarized. The app source lives in
linggen/linggen-app (private); the engine, the skills, and the memory daemon
are public.
