Install Prodify
Prodify is free and runs on Linux, Windows, Android and in your browser.

64-bit ARM phones and tablets |
Web app
Nothing to install: open the web app in any modern browser, on a computer, phone or tablet. Setup runs on your first visit.
- Your data stays in that browser. Clearing the browser’s site data for the web app deletes it.
- Sign in to Prodify Cloud to keep a copy and sync it with the desktop and phone apps. Already have an account? Log in goes straight to sign-in. Your files are encrypted in the browser before they’re uploaded.
- Some things need the desktop or phone app: choosing a data folder, backups to a second drive, Steam and RetroAchievements imports, and AI.
- Keep it handy: use your browser’s Install app or Add to Home Screen option, or bookmark it.
Linux
Install the package from a terminal in the folder you downloaded it to:
sudo apt install ./Prodify_1.9.0_amd64.deb
You can also double-click the .deb to open it in your software center. Prodify then shows up in your app menu.
Windows
Run the installer. It isn’t code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show a warning: choose More info → Run anyway. Prodify is added to the Start menu.
Android
Download the .apk on your phone and open it. Android asks you to allow installs from your browser or file manager the first time; allow it, then tap Install.
First launch
The first time Prodify opens, a short setup asks a few questions. You can change every answer later, and Settings → Run setup again brings it back.
- Account: keep a local account (the default, free forever, no sign-up, works offline) or sign in to Prodify Cloud to sync devices. See Privacy and sync.
- Sections: one step per section, explaining what it does. Keep the ones you want; the rest are hidden, not deleted, and can be turned back on in Settings → Sections and Home.
- Make it yours: pick a theme and colors. There are more in Settings → Appearance.
- Connections (optional): add keys for movie and game data, link RetroAchievements or Steam, and add a Claude API key for AI. See AI and connections.
Updating
Download the new release and install it the same way. On Linux and Windows it replaces the old version; on Android it installs as an update because every release is signed with the same key. Your data is never touched by an update.
