Keybase

Hi, and welcome to the Keybase client repo. All our client apps (macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android) are being actively developed in this repository. Please, dig around.

Warnings

We'd love you to read our source code.

But - some of the things in this repo are explorations, and the app you build from source just might not do what it says it's doing. So, if you just want to install Keybase on your computer, you should monitor our releases for macOS, Linux, or Windows.

Code Layout

• go: Core crypto libraries; the Keybase service; the command line client. Learn More
• react-native: Android and iOS apps developed with React Native.
• desktop: Desktop application for macOS, Linux, and Windows, made with the Electron framework, sharing React code with react-native.
• packaging: Scripts for releasing packages across the various platforms.
• protocol: Defines the protocol for communication for clients to the Keybase services. Uses Avro. Learn More
• media: Icons, graphics, media for Keybase apps.
• osx: The macOS Keybase.app, development parallel to an Electron-based application above. Learn More

Report any issues with client software on this GitHub issue tracker. Internally, we track our progress using Jira, but all PRs come through GitHub for your review!

If you're having problems with the command line keybase client, take a look at the troubleshooting doc.
