Installation

Skima runs entirely on your device — no account, no cloud, no tracking.

• Desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux) — Download from GitHub Releases
• Docker — Self-hosted via docker compose
• From source — Clone and build

Desktop App

Download the latest release for your platform from GitHub Releases:

Platform	Format
Windows	.exe installer
macOS	.dmg disk image
Linux	.deb / .AppImage

Just install and open — no setup, no accounts, no internet required.

Automatic Updates

Starting with v1.4.0, Skima checks for new releases on startup and lets you install them in-app — no more manual reinstalls.

• A modal appears when a new version is available, with Update now / Remind me later / Skip this version options
• Trigger a manual check anytime under Settings → About → Check for updates
• Disable auto-checks via the Check for updates automatically toggle in the same panel

Upgrading from v1.3.5 or earlier? The auto-updater first ships in v1.4.0, so existing installs need to download v1.4.0 manually one time. After that, all future updates are automatic.

Updates are cryptographically signed; Skima refuses any binary that doesn't match the publisher signature.

Linux note: auto-update works for the AppImage build. If you installed via .deb or .rpm, your system package manager owns the install path so Skima can't replace itself in-place — Skima will detect this and prompt you to download the latest release from GitHub manually. Switch to the AppImage build if you want fully automatic updates.

Docker

Run Skima as a local web service with a single command. Requires Docker.

docker compose up -d

Or pull directly from GitHub Container Registry:

docker pull ghcr.io/henfrydls/skima:latest
docker run -d -p 3000:3001 -v skima-data:/app/data ghcr.io/henfrydls/skima:latest

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser. Data persists in a Docker volume.

To run with demo data pre-loaded:

docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.demo.yml up -d

From Source

Requires Node.js 20+.

git clone https://github.com/henfrydls/Skima.git
cd Skima
npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:5173 in your browser. The API runs at http://localhost:3001.

To build the desktop app from source, you also need Rust:

npm run tauri:build
