The Z catalogue, and a way to report bugs.
A fast, local-first desktop app for Windows and Linux that puts 50 privacy-focused tools in one place — and lets you file a bug report, feature request or app request without an account, an email address, or a browser tab.

Fifty tools spread across fifty repositories, release pages and issue trackers is fifty places to look. ZFeedback is all of it in one window — one catalogue, one place to report something, one place to see what happened next.
It's two things at once:
- A storefront. Browse all 50 tools by category, search them, read what each one does, and open the download in your real browser.
- A feedback client. File bugs, feature requests and app requests, follow their status, and answer follow-up questions when a developer needs more detail.
It is not a web app in a window. It is a native Rust binary with a webview interface, it starts fast, it works offline from a local cache, and it collects nothing about you.
- 50 tools, 7 categories — Tools, Security, Gaming, Discord, System, AI, SSH/SFTP
- Works offline — the catalogue is cached on disk and browsable with no network
- No account to browse — sign-in is only needed to file or track a ticket
- Discord sign-in with 2FA — a six-digit code sent by bot DM, no password anywhere
- See exactly what you send — version, OS, architecture and locale are shown in plain text on the submit form, editable before you send them
- Duplicate detection — near-matching tickets are offered for upvote as you type, so you don't file the forty-first copy of a known request
- Reply tracking — a tray count and an in-app badge when a developer is waiting on you
- Attachments — screenshots and logs, up to 4 MB each
- Keyboard-first —
Ctrl/Cmd+Kor/to search, arrow keys throughout - Respects
prefers-reduced-motion— decorative animation is removed, not slowed
No telemetry. No analytics. No crash reporting. No account required to browse.
The only data that ever leaves your machine is a ticket you deliberately submit, and the app shows you its full contents — app version, OS, architecture, locale — before you send it.
Your API token never enters the JavaScript layer. Every network call is made from Rust; the token is stored in the OS keychain (Credential Manager on Windows, Secret Service on Linux) and the webview can only ask Rust to make requests on its behalf. A scripting flaw in the interface cannot leak your session.
Windows and Linux. There is no macOS build.
Download from zsync.eu — this repository holds the source, not the binaries.
| Platform | Package |
|---|---|
| Windows 10/11 | .exe (NSIS, installs per-user — no admin needed) or .msi |
| Debian / Ubuntu | .deb |
| Fedora / RHEL | .rpm |
| Any Linux | .AppImage |
Checksums for every build are at
/releases/zfeedback/SHA256SUMS.
On Linux you'll also want xdg-utils installed so the app can open links in your
browser — it's a recommended dependency of the .deb and .rpm, but AppImage
users may need it separately.
Use the app — that's what it's for. Open ZFeedback, pick the tool, and choose Report a bug. You'll get a reply from a human.
For bugs in ZFeedback itself you can also open an issue. Include the contents of About → This machine; it has everything needed to reproduce.
