Choose the artifact that matches how you want to use the tool. paranoid-passwd is the CLI/TUI binary for automation and terminal workflows. paranoid-passwd-gui is the dedicated desktop app over the same generator and encrypted local vault model.

Canonical Release Surface

The canonical distribution point is GitHub Releases.

The current shipped surface includes two native binaries:

  • paranoid-passwd, which contains the scriptable CLI, the default interactive TUI, and the vault command namespace

  • paranoid-passwd-gui, which contains the dedicated desktop application surface

install.sh and package-manager distribution remain scoped to paranoid-passwd. The GUI is distributed as a direct artifact until native installers land on every platform; macOS GUI archives unpack to a Paranoid Passwd.app bundle and macOS also publishes native .dmg images, Linux GUI archives include both share/applications/paranoid-passwd-gui.desktop and share/metainfo/paranoid-passwd-gui.appdata.xml, and Linux publishes .deb packages for both binaries.

Archive Matrix

Release assets use the current naming scheme:

  • paranoid-passwd-<version>-linux-amd64.tar.gz

  • paranoid-passwd-<version>-linux-arm64.tar.gz

  • paranoid-passwd-<version>-darwin-amd64.tar.gz

  • paranoid-passwd-<version>-darwin-arm64.tar.gz

  • paranoid-passwd-<version>-windows-amd64.zip

  • paranoid-passwd_<version>_amd64.deb

  • paranoid-passwd_<version>_arm64.deb

  • paranoid-passwd-gui-<version>-linux-amd64.tar.gz

  • paranoid-passwd-gui-<version>-linux-arm64.tar.gz

  • paranoid-passwd-gui-<version>-darwin-amd64.tar.gz

  • paranoid-passwd-gui-<version>-darwin-arm64.tar.gz

  • paranoid-passwd-gui-<version>-darwin-amd64.dmg

  • paranoid-passwd-gui-<version>-darwin-arm64.dmg

  • paranoid-passwd-gui-<version>-windows-amd64.zip

  • paranoid-passwd-gui_<version>_amd64.deb

  • paranoid-passwd-gui_<version>_arm64.deb

Every release also publishes:

  • checksums.txt

  • GitHub build provenance attestations

Installer and Package Managers

The docs site hosts /install.sh, which resolves the latest compatible paranoid-passwd archive for the current Unix-like platform.

Package-manager metadata is generated by the release workflow for:

  • Homebrew

  • Scoop

  • Chocolatey

Use package managers when they match your environment policy. Use the direct archives when you want the narrowest, easiest-to-verify install surface.

On Linux, the .deb packages are the first standardized desktop package format in the release line. They install:

  • /usr/bin/paranoid-passwd or /usr/bin/paranoid-passwd-gui

  • desktop metadata for the GUI package under /usr/share/applications and /usr/share/metainfo

  • repo docs under /usr/share/doc/<package>

On macOS, the .dmg images are the first standardized native installer-style payload in the release line for the GUI. They mount with:

hdiutil attach paranoid-passwd-gui-<version>-darwin-arm64.dmg
