LBRY Desktop

The desktop client provides a graphical interface to the LBRY decentralized content marketplace, bundling the LBRY daemon with an Electron‑based UI. Users can browse, download, and publish files while interacting with the network’s built‑in payment system, all from a single application that runs on macOS, Windows, and Debian‑based Linux.

The software is distributed as ready‑to‑install packages for the supported platforms, with additional community‑maintained builds for Arch Linux, Flatpak, Nixpkgs, and ARM/ARM64. Installers are available from the official website and the GitHub releases page, and the app includes an in‑app update mechanism for Debian installations.

Developers can run the client from source using Node.js (v16) and Git, and the repository contains documentation for building, contributing, and handling security or contact concerns. The project is released under the MIT license and is considered stable.
