Downloads
RCycle is a free passion project. Follow the steps below for your downloaded Windows installer, Mac ZIP, or Linux AppImage.
Your download should start momentarily. While it finishes, the following are the install instructions.
Windows may show Microsoft Defender SmartScreen because the installer is not signed and has not built up download reputation.
Use the official Windows installer from the downloads section. Confirm the URL begins with https://rcycle.app/downloads/ before opening it.
If the blue Windows protected your PC dialog appears, choose More info. Confirm the app name is the RCycle installer you downloaded, then choose Run anyway. Continue through the normal installer prompts.
SmartScreen uses publisher and file reputation. New unsigned files are more likely to show the strongest warning because Windows has no known publisher and no download history for that exact build.
Open the ZIP, copy the app to Applications, and launch it from there.
Download the Apple Silicon or Intel ZIP from rcycle.app. Open the ZIP file, then drag RCycle.app into your Applications folder.
Open your Applications folder and double-click RCycle.app.
Download the AppImage, mark it executable if needed, then run it directly.
Use the official Linux AppImage from the downloads section. Confirm the URL begins with https://rcycle.app/downloads/ before opening it.
If your file manager does not offer a run option, open a terminal in the download folder and run chmod +x RCycle-*.AppImage.
Double-click the AppImage or run it from a terminal with ./RCycle-*.AppImage. You can move the file to an applications folder if you want to keep it.
