Public free download, macOS + Linux, self-contained
The first public build of Knot that runs anywhere, with nothing to install first. Drop any folder into Knot and every save becomes a real git commit that syncs to your paired machines within seconds, peer-to-peer over Tor and your local network, no account, no cloud, no central server. The macOS app (.dmg) and the Linux tarball (x86_64, glibc 2.31+) are now fully self-contained: no Homebrew, no system openssl, no Rust toolchain, verified by launching the binaries on a clean machine. macOS is ad-hoc-signed (not yet Apple-notarized), so the first launch needs a one-time Gatekeeper wave-through, the steps are on the download page. Under the hood it is real git, so you can drop to plain git commands any time. Full three-way merge, a first-run wizard, on-device AI in the bundle, and a notarized installer + Windows build are still in flight.
