Where the download numbers come from
The figure at the top of the home page is added up from the sources below. Nothing in it is rounded up or estimated, and the live part can be checked against GitHub's own API.
The sources
The figure on this site, 5,251 downloads, is not an estimate. It is the sum of the sources below, and each row says what it counts and how to check it.
| Source | Downloads |
|---|---|
| GitHub releases live, as of 6 November 2026 | 5,251 |
| Windows | 2,106 |
| Android | 1,450 |
| Linux | 1,356 |
| macOS | 338 |
| Checksum files (not counted) | 439 |
| Other | 1 |
| The download_count GitHub keeps for every app file attached to every release, 208 releases in all, added up. GitHub's own page shows these counts one release at a time and never a total. Downloads of checksum files are listed but not counted. Check it on GitHub. | |
| Total | 5,251 |
Only app files are counted. The 439 downloads of checksum files (people verifying a download) are shown above for completeness and are not in the total.
Installs from Google Play and the Microsoft Store are not in this number: GitHub cannot see them.
These are downloads, not people or installs: one person can download more than once.
Checking it yourself
GitHub's Releases page shows how often each file was downloaded, one release at a time, and never a total. That is why the number there looks smaller than this one: it is one release against all of them. To get the total, add up the download_count of every file in the releases API (it has several pages), which is what this site does every six hours.
The numbers GitHub cannot see, from the app stores, can only be read from the owner's own store dashboards. They are shown above only once they have been entered, with the date they were read.
