Installation Guide

Paxalia is available on multiple platforms. Choose your platform below for detailed installation instructions.

Windows

1. Download the latest Windows installer from the Downloads page.

3. If Windows SmartScreen appears, click More info and then Run anyway.
4. Follow the on‑screen instructions to complete the installation.
5. Launch Paxalia from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.

Pro tip: You can also use the portable version — just extract the ZIP file and run the executable directly without installation.

Linux

Paxalia is available as an AppImage for Linux. AppImage is a portable format that works on most modern Linux distributions without installation.

1. Download the latest .AppImage from the Downloads page.
2. Open a terminal and navigate to the download location.
3. Make the file executable: chmod +x paxalia-*.AppImage
4. Run the AppImage: ./paxalia-*.AppImage
5. To keep it in your applications menu, you can create a desktop entry manually.

Alternative — AppImageLauncher: For a smoother experience, install AppImageLauncher to integrate the AppImage with your system.

Note: Some distributions may require fuse to run AppImages. Install it with your package manager if needed.

Android

1. Download the latest .apk file from the Downloads page.
2. Open the downloaded APK file on your device.
3. If prompted, enable Install from unknown sources.
4. Tap Install and wait for the installation to complete.
5. Launch Paxalia from your app drawer.

Play Store: Paxalia will also be available on the Google Play Store in the future.

Web

No installation needed. Paxalia runs directly in your browser:

1. Open your browser and go to app.paxalia.com
2. Log in with your account or create a new one.
3. Start using Paxalia immediately — everything is saved in your browser’s local storage.

Note: The web app requires an active internet connection for sync and collaboration features. Data is stored locally and synced to the cloud when you log in.

First Launch

When you open Paxalia for the first time, you will be greeted by a welcome screen. You can:

• Create an account — for cloud sync and collaboration.
• Use the app as a guest — all data stays local.

After logging in or continuing as a guest, your first workspace — Personal — will be created automatically. You can start using the timer, creating notes, and setting up your workspace immediately.
