Requirements

  • Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Zeku uses Microsoft Edge WebView2, which Windows 11 already has. On Windows 10 the installer fetches it if it is missing.
  • macOS 10.15 Catalina or later. The Mac app is universal, so it runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and it installs its own updates.
  • Linux on x86_64 with glibc 2.35 or later, such as Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 36, or current Arch. Zeku draws with WebKitGTK 4.1: the AppImage carries its own, and the .deb and .rpm install it as a dependency. There is no ARM build yet.
  • An Astro project with content collections for the full experience. Running astro sync or astro dev once gives Zeku the richest field types. Any other folder of markdown opens too.
  • Git on your PATH, for publishing.
  • Node and your project's dependencies installed, for site preview. Zeku uses whichever of pnpm, npm, yarn, or bun the project uses.

No account, and no internet needed to write. Zeku goes online only to check for updates, record the trial start, activate or confirm a license, load embeds and images in your posts and pages, and run stock photo searches you start.
