Download Cogshift

One binary, uniform and unpersonalised. Run it, your browser opens, paste a provider key — your first answer is minutes away. No sign-in is needed to download; an account only ever links a machine you already run.

Checking the latest release…

or the one-liner

Same verified artifacts, less clicking. macOS & Linux:

curl -fsSL https://cogshift.io/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://cogshift.io/install.ps1 | iex

The script is small on purpose — read it first or run curl -fsSL https://cogshift.io/install.sh | less. It verifies the SHA-256 of everything it downloads before installing anything, and aborts leaving nothing behind if a checksum doesn't match. On Linux it prefers your package manager when one is present.

Release artifacts are built by CI from tagged commits and published with a SHA-256 checksum sidecar — if we can't show you a checksum for an artifact, we don't offer it. The verified-update pipeline (signed manifests) rides the same trust root.
