Installation

To get started, download Lunatask for your platform. You can install it either from your platform’s app store or directly from our website.

tip

If available, we recommend starting with your platform’s store version.

macOS

Recommended: Install Lunatask from the App Store 👈

Alternatively, download Lunatask for Mac in DMG format on our downloads page.

info

Choose Lunatask for Mac (DMG version) if you’d like to apply for our education discount or are considering a lifetime purchase. Student discounts and lifetime licenses are not currently available in the App Store version.

Windows 10/11

Recommended: Install Lunatask from the Microsoft Store 👈

Alternatively, download the installer directly from our downloads page.

info

As of June 2023 (Lunatask v1.7), Lunatask no longer supports Windows 7 or Windows 8.

Linux

Recommended: We strongly recommend installing Lunatask using Snapcraft, either via their store app or via terminal by running:

$ snap install lunatask
tip

Snapcraft comes preinstalled on some Linux distributions (such as Ubuntu and most of its variations, or Manjaro), but can be easily installed on others (like Debian, Fedora, Mint, Arch, etc) as well – follow the guide for your specific Linux distribution here.

Alternatively, you can use our AppImage version available on our downloads page.

info

Flatpak support is likely coming eventually. If you’re interested in this feature, please add your vote for it on our Idea Portal 🙏

ChromeOS

Use the AppImage version of Lunatask for Linux on x86-based Chromebooks.

tip

Running AppImages on ChromeOS may require a bit of setup. If needed, ask ChatGPT for help – it’ll guide you through the nuances and potential issues you may encounter.

info

Lunatask is not yet available for ARM-based Chromebooks. If you'd like to see ARM support for Linux-based systems implemented, please add your vote for the feature on our Idea Portal 🙏

iOS

Get Lunatask for iOS on the App Store 👈

Lockdown Mode

Lunatask uses the Argon2 key derivation function for password hashing as part of its encryption toolchain, implemented in WebAssembly.

To set up the mobile app, please temporarily disable Lockdown Mode. After you’ve logged in and configured a four-digit PIN in the settings (optional, if you need that feature), you can re-enable Lockdown Mode again.

Android

Get Lunatask for Android on the Play Store 👈

Installation on alternative Android distributions

Due to constraints on our development capacity and other priorities, we can officially support only Google’s Android platform at the moment. While the app may be available through alternative stores (such as Aurora Store) and runs on most alternative Android distributions (such as GrapheneOS), this is on a best-effort basis. We appreciate your understanding.

Direct APK distribution is not available at the moment, but we’re considering adding our own direct APK distribution channel for use with tools such as Obtainium in the future – it’s definitely on our radar.

Installation on GrapheneOS

Lunatask uses the Argon2 key derivation function for password hashing as part of its encryption toolchain, implemented in WebAssembly. To set up the mobile app, please enable WebView JIT. After you’ve logged in and configured a four-digit PIN in the settings (optional, if you need that feature), you can disable it again, but we recommend keeping it enabled.
