WinStars 3.0.310 · 2026-10-29 — to install and to update from the server.

Download the installer — 38,1 MB, 2026-09-26

On first launch, the installer fetches the files of the current version from the server. The file you download here stays valid afterwards: WinStars checks the server at startup and, when a more recent version exists, it relaunches the installer in update mode — so you do not download this file again for every new version.

If the program reports a problem with the internet connection, please see the following link. To update your current version manually, run the MaintenanceTools.exe tool located in the installation folder (C:\Program Files\WinStars3) and choose the “Update” option.

Android

WinStars 3 is no longer available on the Google Play Store. You can now install it and receive future updates in two ways:

  • Via F‑Droid (recommended): add the official repository to your F‑Droid application for an automated installation tailored to your processor: https://franckrichard01.github.io/WinStars3-FDroid/repo/
  • By direct download: download the APK matching your architecture. Requires enabling unknown sources.

macOS and iOS

Due to Apple’s decision to abandon x86 processors, I am no longer able to compile the project. WinStars 3 is therefore no longer compatible with macOS and iOS.

GNU/Linux

An AppImage does not install: making it executable and running it is enough.

wget https://winstars.net/files/version3/WinStars-3.0.310-x86_64.AppImage
chmod +x WinStars-3.0.310-x86_64.AppImage
./WinStars-3.0.310-x86_64.AppImage

Checking what you downloaded

Every file carries its SHA‑256 fingerprint, in the tooltip of the table link and in the manifest. After the download:

The printed fingerprint must match the one in the manifest. WinStars 3 changelog.
