How to download Astral

Windows, Android, and Linux clients, the web app, and how to install the PWA

1 min readUpdated for the current Astral app

Current builds are on astraof.com/download. The marketed line is 1.6.0 (the Android APK is labeled 1.6).

Platforms

Platform What to get Requirements
Windows EXE installer, x64 Windows 10 or later
Android APK Astral-android-1.6-release.apk Android 8 or later
Linux AppImage, .deb, or tar.gz x64
Web Nothing to install A modern browser
iPhone / iPad / macOS Web or PWA No separate store app yet

Messages, settings, and the device list stay in sync across the web and installed clients.

Web and PWA

Open astraof.com and sign in. To hide the browser chrome:

  1. On desktop Chrome / Edge: install menu → Install Astral.
  2. On a phone: Share → Add to Home Screen.

The PWA can show an unread badge and receive Web Push when the tab is in the background.

Good to know

  • Global shortcuts (including push-to-talk when Astral is unfocused) work in the desktop app, not in the browser.
  • Launch at login is available on Windows (and prepared for macOS). Linux comes later.
  • Platform requests: product@astraof.com.

If the client will not open after an update, download a fresh build from the official page and skip unofficial mirrors.
