Download

Not public yet.
Here is the plan.

FORTIQ is an engineering prototype. There is no public download today, and we would rather say so than hand out something unqualified.

No public build yet

The repository is private until a pre-publication audit is complete. When the first builds appear, this page will carry the installers, checksums and the source.

In development

Windows

x64 · primary platform

  • Per-user installer: no administrator rights, installs into your profile with a Start menu shortcut and an uninstaller.
  • A portable ZIP is produced as well.
  • Not signed yet: Windows SmartScreen will warn, because there is no code-signing certificate.
  • Installation on a clean Windows 11 machine is not yet tested.
  • No automatic updates: install a newer version over the old one.
Beta, in testing

Android

arm64 · beta

  • A debug build passes sign-in, Files and storage-picker checks in an emulator.
  • Not yet tested on a physical device.
  • The release APK is not signed yet.

Requirements

What your server needs

FORTIQ adds nothing to your server. These are the things it expects to find.

  • A Debian or Ubuntu host

    Reachable over SSH with a password or a key. A VPS, a machine at home or WSL all work.

  • Core apps

    Files, Terminal, Logs, MDok and System rely on standard tools that a typical Debian or Ubuntu already has.

  • Optional tools

    Mail needs notmuch, mbsync and msmtp configured. Browser needs curl. Databases need sqlite3 or psql.

First run

What the first minute looks like

Once a build is available.

  • 1 · Add a server

    Enter host, user and a password or key.

  • 2 · Verify the fingerprint

    Compare the shown SHA-256 fingerprint with your server. FORTIQ pins it.

  • 3 · Open your desktop

    Files, Terminal, Logs and more, all on the one connection.
