Pentriarch Desktop

The full Pentriarch platform as a native desktop app. Scans run locally in Docker containers on your machine - fast, private, and always available.

Windows 10/11macOS 12+Ubuntu / Debian / Fedora

Why desktop?

Everything the web app does - but faster, private, and always one click away.

New

Local execution via Docker

The desktop app bundles the Pentriarch local agent. Scans run in ephemeral Docker containers on your own machine - no data leaves your network.

Always-on system tray

Pentriarch lives in your tray. One click opens the full platform. The local agent starts automatically in the background on launch.

Cloud sync, local power

Results stream back to Pentriarch cloud so your reports, history and team collaboration stay fully intact - you just run faster.

No cold-start latency

Skip the Cloud Run spin-up. Local Docker containers start in milliseconds, making iterative scans dramatically faster.

Installation notes

WindowsRun the .msi or.exe installer. If Windows SmartScreen appears, click More info → Run anyway - the app is unsigned for this pilot build. Docker Desktop must be running for local scans.
macOS (Apple Silicon)Open the .dmg and drag Pentriarch to Applications. On first launch, right-click → Open if Gatekeeper blocks it (unsigned pilot build). Ensure Docker Desktop is running.
LinuxMake the AppImage executable and run it:chmod +x Pentriarch_*.AppImage && ./Pentriarch_*.AppImageOr install the .deb /.rpmvia your package manager.

Prerequisites for local execution

  • Docker Desktop (or Docker Engine on Linux) must be running
  • Node.js 18 or later installed on the host
  • 4 GB RAM recommended (Docker containers are capped at 512 MB each)
  • Internet connection for cloud sync and AI model calls
