Download SOVRGN

One app for every server you're in. On Windows and Linux, the same app can run a complete server of its own — your machine, your rules.

Current release: v0.6.0 alpha · what's in it · MIT licensed, no account required to download or to use.

Windows

The desktop client, and a full server if you want one — the installer needs no administrator and touches nothing outside your user account. Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit.

Download for Windows

.exe installer · connects to any server · can host one

Linux

A .deb for Debian and Ubuntu, or an AppImage that runs on any distribution without installing. Both are the same app, hosting included.

macOS

The desktop client for Mac — every server in one window, sign-in through your own browser, credentials in the Keychain. Hosting isn't in the Mac build yet, and the app says so rather than hiding the button.

Download for macOS

.dmg · Apple Silicon and Intel · client only, macOS 10.15+

Your computer may warn you. These builds are not code-signed yet — signing certificates cost money this project doesn't take from anyone. Windows SmartScreen will ask if you're sure; macOS requires a right-click → Open the first time. The honest fix is signing, and it's on the list. Until then, download only from this page or from the releases page they both point at.

Run a server without the app

The desktop app hosts a server that runs while the app is open — right for a personal server, wrong for a machine in a cupboard. For a server that stays up on its own, install directly on any Linux box:

git clone https://github.com/Formicaria/SOVRGNnet.cc.git sovrgnnet
cd sovrgnnet
./install.sh

One question about how people should reach you, and it does the rest — Docker or plain systemd services, LAN-only or public, no domain required. The same stack the desktop app bundles, run as a service.

What you're downloading

Alpha software, stated plainly: messaging, files, invites, roles, and moderation work end to end, and channels are end-to-end encrypted by default where the deployment supports it. No voice or video yet, no mobile apps, and no independent security audit. The security page says exactly where the limits are, before you find them.

Every download on this page is built in public by the repository's own CI from an MIT-licensed tree you can read.
