Latest release: v0.2.0-beta.16

This is the single public download entrypoint for Kiwi Control.

Use this page for the current public release status, desktop installers, release metadata, checksums, and the exact verification commands from the same public website host.

Latest public release: 0.2.0-beta.16. Download links, checksums, and the release manifest below all point to the current published release artifacts.

Optional CLI bundles

Desktop install stays primary. These bundles remain optional for users who explicitly want the standalone CLI path. The wrapper installers stage kiwi-control, kc, and the matching runtime bundle for the current OS. They do not install the desktop app.

If Kiwi Control Desktop is already installed, kc ui can launch or attach to it. Homebrew tap files are scaffolded for maintainers but not published as a live tap yet. Winget is not published for this beta.

Planned verification

Fresh terminal commands after install

macOS: launch the app once, then run command -v kc
macOS: run kc --help. If blocked, the app already shows retry/remediation.
Windows CLI: run the PowerShell bootstrap, then run Get-Command kc
Windows desktop: after installing the setup EXE, run Get-Command kc and kc --help from a fresh shell.
Trust notes

Public hosting does not replace signing proof

macOS beta builds can be tested now, but unsigned pkg or DMG installs may still require a manual first-open override until signed/notarized/stapled proof exists.
If Finder says Apple could not verify the pkg, Control-click it and choose Open, or go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
Windows installers are published for this beta, but signing proof is still incomplete.
Install/PATH success and release trust are separate claims.
Public hosting only changes delivery, not trust.
CLI bootstrap

Published wrapper install for the standalone CLI

These wrappers install the standalone CLI bundle, hydrate the matching runtime bundle for the current OS, and then verify kc --help. They do not install the desktop app unless you explicitly request a desktop install and the artifact exists for that OS.

curl -fsSL https://kiwi-control.kiwi-ai.in/install.sh | bash
Windows PowerShell bootstrap:
irm https://kiwi-control.kiwi-ai.in/install.ps1 | iex

macOS desktop opt-in is available with curl -fsSL https://kiwi-control.kiwi-ai.in/install.sh | bash -s -- --desktop when the macOS pkg URL is published. Windows desktop installers are listed here as soon as the release metadata publishes real EXE and MSI URLs; the PowerShell wrapper still leaves a working CLI install if desktop metadata is unavailable.

Windows fallback

Windows CLI-only fallback

Windows setup EXE and MSI links are live for this beta. Use the PowerShell bootstrap only when you want the standalone CLI without installing the desktop app.
