ARM computer, e.g. a Raspberry Pi? Download the ARM version

Not sure? Run uname -m in a terminal: x86_64 means Intel or AMD, aarch64 means ARM.

Make the downloaded file executable and start it:

chmod +x ./PulseUnlock-x64.AppImage && ./PulseUnlock-x64.AppImage

Server without a desktop?

Install the pulseunlock command-line tool instead. It does everything the desktop app does, also over SSH. Run this on the server:

curl -fL "https://meis-apps.com/download?product=PulseUnlock&platform=linux_cli_x64" | tar -xz && cd PulseUnlock-CLI-*-x64 && sudo ./install.sh

For Intel and AMD servers

Or download it directly: Intel/AMD, ARM

Download for Mac
For Macs with Apple silicon

Open the downloaded disk image, move PulseUnlock to your Applications folder and start it from there.

When you run the installer, Windows may show a "Windows protected your PC" SmartScreen warning. This appears because the app is new and not yet widely downloaded. It is safe to run. Here's how:

1

Click "More info"

When the blue SmartScreen dialog appears, click the More info link.

2

Click "Run anyway"

A Run anyway button now appears. Click it to start the installer.
3

Pair your phone

After opening the app, click on "Install" in the service module section. Then, click on "Pair new device" and follow the instructions.

With the command-line tool, run sudo pulseunlock install, then sudo pulseunlock pair and scan the QR code it shows. pulseunlock help lists all commands.
