Install Pellet

Not released yet

Pellet isn’t publicly available. The desktop app is built and runs, and the iOS build runs on device, but the installers aren’t signed and notarized — and handing strangers an unsigned build is a bad first impression.

When they’re ready they’ll be on the download page. Nothing here is a substitute for that; these pages describe the app as it is today so you can decide whether it’s for you.

What it will run on

Platform	Notes
macOS	Apple silicon and Intel
Windows	x64
Linux	x64 and arm64, as an AppImage
iPad and iPhone	iOS 16 or newer, via the App Store

Android hasn’t been started.

What happens on first launch

Pellet asks you to choose a vault — the folder your notes will live in. A demo vault ships inside the app if you’d rather look around before pointing it at anything real.

There’s no account to create, nothing to sign in to, and no setup wizard.

Desktop-only features

A couple of things can’t exist on iOS, for reasons of what the platform allows rather than choices anyone made:

• Google Calendar sign-in needs a loopback server that iOS doesn’t permit. Apple and ICS calendars work everywhere.
• The automation API needs a listening socket, which an iOS app can’t open.

Everything else — notes, tasks, canvas, whiteboards, handwriting, sync — works on both.
