Wish
P2P identity and networking for your devices
Wish is a p2p networking layer where identity is the foundation. It manages your cryptographic identities, discovers peers, and provides encrypted connections between your devices and contacts. Applications connect to Wish and get identity, networking, and sync without building their own.
Wish runs as a tray app bundled with Dashboard — a web UI for managing identities, contacts, connections, and app permissions.
Download
macOS
| Architecture | Download |
|---|---|
| Apple Silicon | Wish-v0.1.7-macos-arm64.dmg |
The macOS build is waiting on Apple's notarization and appears here as soon as it clears.
Windows
| Format | Download |
|---|---|
| Installer (.exe) | Wish-v0.1.7-windows-x64.exe |
| MSI package (.msi) | Wish-v0.1.7-windows-x64.msi |
The .exe installs per user (no administrator rights) and adds a Start Menu entry; the .msi is for managed installs. Neither is code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC" on first run: choose "More info" → "Run anyway".
Linux
| Format | Download |
|---|---|
| Debian / Ubuntu (.deb) | Wish-v0.1.7-linux-x64.deb |
| Fedora / RHEL (.rpm) | Wish-v0.1.7-linux-x64.rpm |
| AppImage | Wish-v0.1.7-linux-x64.AppImage |
Install the .deb with sudo apt install ./Wish-v0.1.7-linux-x64.deb, the .rpm with sudo dnf install ./Wish-v0.1.7-linux-x64.rpm. The AppImage runs in place after chmod +x; it needs libfuse2 (libfuse2t64 on Ubuntu 24.04 and later). Builds target glibc 2.35, so Ubuntu 22.04 / Debian 12 or newer.
Applications
Wish provides the networking layer for:
- Reason — Decentralized social platform
- wsh — Remote shell over p2p (SSH without key management)
- Dashboard — Identity, contacts, and connection management (bundled)
The source lives in a private repository while the stack matures — access is handed out personally; get in touch. The SDK and Document Store docs on this site are the public documentation.
Command-line tools and the standalone kernel: downloads.
