Rymot Local is free and needs no account. Download it from the download page — it suggests the right file for your system.
§01Windows
- 01Run the .exe installer. It's a per-user install — no admin rights needed.
- 02If Windows Defender SmartScreen appears, click More info, then Run anyway. Windows shows this for installers from newer publishers; it is not a sign of a problem.
- 03Rymot Local appears in your system tray and starts tracking.
Requires Windows 10 (1903+) or Windows 11, 64-bit.
§02macOS
- 01Open the .dmg and drag Rymot Local into Applications.
- 02The first launch is blocked because the app isn't notarized by Apple yet: right-click the app in Applications, choose Open, then Open again. You only do this once.
- 03Rymot Local appears in the menu bar and starts tracking.
Requires macOS 11 Big Sur or later — one universal build for Apple Silicon and Intel.
§03Linux
Use the AppImage unless you have a reason not to. It runs on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, openSUSE and other distributions, installs nothing, and updates itself in place. Make it executable and run it: chmod +x on the file, then open it.
The .deb is a system package with application-menu integration for Debian, Ubuntu or Mint. Install it with sudo dpkg -i followed by the filename; if dependencies are missing, run sudo apt -f install. Because it writes to system directories, each update asks for your password.
