Download Wildcaster
The full 24-hour nowcast engine runs on the device. Once the region is on board it keeps working with no connection at all, which is the point: the network is the first thing to go.
Pre-release beta. Downloads are gated by a beta password or an activation key. If you do not have one, ask us for access or use the web demo, which needs nothing at all.
Pick your platform
Windows
Portable executable. There is no installer: put it where you want it and run it.
- Download the .exe
- Windows SmartScreen will warn on first run, because the build is unsigned. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
- Activate with your licence key on first launch.
Android
Phone or tablet, the same engine as the desktop build. Sideloaded, not from the Play Store.
- Download the .apk on the device
- Allow install from unknown sources for your browser when Android asks
- Open the file to install, then activate with your key.
Linux
Built and tested on Ubuntu 24.04. Debian and derivatives should install the same way.
- Download the .deb
- Install it, which pulls in any missing dependencies:
sudo apt install ./Wildcaster_*.deb - Launch it from your applications menu, then activate.
macOS is built from the same source and is available on request. Every build carries the same engine: what differs between them is the shell around it, never the model.

Self-service registration is coming. It will issue your licence key and set up the region you work in, without waiting on us. Until it is live, ask us for access and we will set you up by hand, usually the same day.
