    Artifacts

    Specter is available in several forms: as a GUI application, as a binary that can be executed like a web app, and as a PyPI package. Official Docker images are published to the GitHub Container Registry (docker pull ghcr.io/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop). Releases before v2.1.2 instead used images from the Chiang Mai LN devs.

    Signed hashsum files are available for all binaries.

    GUI Application

    This is a GUI application with a windowed interface, which includes the Specter server.

    Note on Linux: you need to set up udev rules (included in the archive). Check out the readme.

    Note on macOS: The current build supports only macOS Catalina (10.15) or higher. The app is not code-signed or notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper will block it on first launch. After installing, run xattr -cr /Applications/Specter.app in Terminal to remove the quarantine flag.

    specterd

    Specterd is a command-line program that runs only the Specter server, behaving like a traditional web application.

    PyPi Packages

    If you're experienced Python user and/or developer, you might appreciate the pypi-packages which are also available on our github-release-page.

    Signatures and hashes

    SHA256SUMS file contains sha256 hashes of all binary files and is signed with the "Specter Signer 2026" GPG key. You can get the public key from here.
