# Snowball releases
|
|
|
|
Snowball keeps your files on every device you own, with no cloud in between. Lose a device and you lose nothing. See [snowball.tricauda.com](https://snowball.tricauda.com) for what it is and how it works.
|
|
|
|
Snowball is an early alpha. Keep your usual copies of anything you can't afford to lose while you try it.
|
|
|
|
**[Download the latest release](https://git.tricauda.com/snowball/releases/releases/latest)**. Each release has its notes, and the files below.
|
|
|
|
## Android, with Obtainium
|
|
|
|
Snowball isn't in the Play Store yet. [Obtainium](https://obtainium.imranr.dev) installs it and tells you when there's an update.
|
|
|
|
1. Install Obtainium (version 1.6.16 or later).
|
|
2. In Obtainium, tap **Add app**, and for the app source URL, enter `https://git.tricauda.com/snowball/releases`.
|
|
3. Set **Override source** to **Forgejo (Codeberg)**, then tap **Add**.
|
|
4. Tap **Install**. If your phone asks, allow Obtainium to install apps.
|
|
|
|
When there's a new version, Obtainium offers it. Tap **Update**, and your files and settings stay as they are.
|
|
|
|
(Or download `snowball-<version>.apk` from a release and open it, but then you won't hear about updates.)
|
|
|
|
## Linux
|
|
|
|
For Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 36 or anything newer.
|
|
|
|
1. From the latest release, download `snowball-linux-x64.tar.gz`.
|
|
2. Unpack it wherever you'd like Snowball to live, such as your home folder.
|
|
3. In the `snowball` folder, run `install.sh`. That adds Snowball to your applications, and starts it whenever you log in. (`install.sh --uninstall` removes both again.)
|
|
4. Open Snowball from your applications.
|
|
|
|
To update, quit Snowball from its icon in the top bar, unpack the new release over the old one, and open it again. Your files and settings are kept elsewhere.
