- That command drops the app into ~/Applications (replacing the copy you already have), records the persistent codeburn CLI path used by the menubar, verifies the downloaded checksum, and launches it.
- The app is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so the zip from this page opens without a Gatekeeper warning.

- macOS Apple Silicon: CodeBurn-0.9.25-arm64.dmg
- macOS Intel: CodeBurn-0.9.25.dmg
- Windows: CodeBurn-Setup-0.9.25.exe, bundles the tray app and the Capacity Dock. The Microsoft Store build is the signed, self-updating route; this installer is unsigned, so SmartScreen asks once.
- Linux: CodeBurn-0.9.25.AppImage, codeburn-desktop0.9.25amd64.deb, codeburn-desktop-0.9.25.x8664.rpm
- Download the .msi below and run it. The tray app reads everything through the CodeBurn CLI, so install that first
- npm install -g codeburn
- Requires codeburn 0.9.9 or newer and the WebView2 Runtime (preinstalled on Windows 11 and recent Windows 10 updates; installed on demand otherwise).
- The bundle is unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen warns on first run: click "More info", then "Run anyway". Signing is planned.

- Drill-through: every aggregate in the desktop app, including a pull request row, opens the sessions behind it.
- Compare periods and Compare cohorts: two date ranges side by side with a plain-language lead and the biggest movers, and a model comparison over an explicit observation population.
- Spend by branch: what each branch and worktree of a project cost.
- A Projects pane scopes the desktop app, and --project / --exclude now work on every reporting command.
- Six languages in the desktop app and the macOS menu bar: English, French, Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
- The macOS menu bar and the Windows tray are installed and managed from a card on the desktop app's Plugins page.
