Download — version 0.9.5
The same program on both platforms. The Linux builds are made on Ubuntu 22.04 so they run on that release and anything newer.
Installs to Program Files, adds Start menu entries and registers with Add/Remove Programs. There is no runtime to install first: everything is linked in, so there is no MSVC redistributable and no DLLs beside it.
It is not code signed, so SmartScreen warns the first time. Choose More info → Run anyway, or check the SHA256 below.
One file. Make it executable and run it. Nothing is written outside your home directory, and it does not touch your package manager.
Installs to /usr/bin/boinctasks-pp with a desktop entry,
so it appears in your application menu like anything else.
Older versions
Every release stays available. If you need to go back to one, or you are checking what changed, the full archive is at /files/.

No ARM build yet, so Raspberry Pi hosts can be monitored but cannot run the application itself.
