pixcode Files

🎉 Desktop installers now live in the main Pixcode release page

From this release forward, Windows, macOS, and Linux installers ship as attached assets on the same page as the npm tarball. One place to find everything.

• Windows — Pixcode-Setup-1.31.2.exe (per-user install, no admin required)
• macOS — Pixcode-1.31.2-arm64.dmg · Pixcode-1.31.2-x64.dmg
• Linux — Pixcode-1.31.2-x64.AppImage · Pixcode-1.31.2-x64.deb

⏳ Installer build is still running on CI — refresh this page in ~15 minutes to see the attached files, or install via npm in the meantime.

What's in it

Same code as v1.31.1 (cross-platform Claude resolver, provider configuration editor, deleted-workspace lock, new-chat state cleanup, Qwen/Gemini sidebar fix), plus:

• Consolidated desktop workflow — the Electron wrapper now lives in pixcode/desktop/ as an isolated sub-package. Root npm install for web/server development no longer pulls Electron devDeps. CI still picks them up and builds all three platforms in parallel on every version tag.
• Updated download links — the main README now surfaces a Download button pointing at this release page.

Install / upgrade

Desktop (recommended for most users):

Grab the installer for your OS from the Assets section below. First launch drops a tray icon and opens your default browser at http://localhost:3001. Right-click the tray for Start at Login, Restart server, and Quit.

npm (developers / headless servers):

:::bash
npm install -g @pixelbyte-software/pixcode@1.31.2
pixcode

Update strategy

• Product updates — when we ship 1.31.3 / 1.32.0 / etc. the installed desktop wrapper will auto-download only the ~4 MB npm tarball and swap it into its writable runtime dir. No installer re-download needed.
• Wrapper updates (rare) — only when the Electron shell itself changes will a new installer be prompted via electron-updater.

Signing

Installers are unsigned in this release. Windows SmartScreen may show an "Unknown publisher" warning on first launch — click More info → Run anyway. On macOS, right-click → Open to bypass Gatekeeper. Signing infrastructure (Authenticode + Apple Developer ID) is on the roadmap.
