0.1.0-beta.1, which was published without downloads because its release build failed on Linux and Windows.Changed- This beta has no Windows builds. They return once Hoista’s deployment tests pass on Windows.
- The release build frees disk space on the Linux runner before compiling.
- hoista.dev links straight to each installer, says which Mac chip a download is for, and offers the Intel build to Intel Macs.
- Hoista Desktop is not yet signed with an Apple Developer ID or notarized, so macOS blocks it on first open.
- No Windows builds yet, of Desktop or the CLI.
- Providers connect with API tokens only; one-click sign-in with a provider is turned off for now.
- The beta update channel in Desktop’s settings is not available yet. To move to a newer beta, install it from its release page.

hoistd, the engine, andhoist, the CLI. The CLI starts the engine when a command needs it, andhoist service installstarts it at login.- Hoista Desktop for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Linux (AppImage and Debian package).

- Deploys from a folder, with a plan you see first, live progress and rollback to any earlier deploy.
- Logs, metrics and daily usage as each provider reports them.
- Variables (hidden, or from a
.envfile), custom domains with DNS checks, and environments such as production and staging. - Billing: what each provider has billed this period, and plan limits. Hoista never estimates cost.

hoist skills install. - Remotes: run Hoista on Railway, Fly.io or Docker so agents can reach it while your computer is off, and move this computer’s projects there in one step.

- Signed releases: every archive is signed with Sigstore from this repository’s release workflow, and the installers refuse anything that doesn’t verify.
