Download SMBAct for Windows, macOS and Linux. Start a 14-day free trial or activate your license key.

## Available builds

The page offers the latest SMBAct build for your system, with the other platforms listed next to it:

- **Windows**: x64, as `.msi` or `.exe` installer.
- **macOS**: Apple Silicon and Intel.
- **Linux**: x64, as `.AppImage` or `.rpm`.

Downloads are served from releases.giglabo.com. A video on the page shows how to download, install and activate SMBAct: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HNQyR4yg1M>

## How it works

### 1. Download and install

Download the SMBAct build for Windows, macOS or Linux and install it.

### 2. Activation

- Open the **License** page in the app's sidebar. Until SMBAct is activated, only Dashboard, License, Contact and Settings are available.
- Press **Start trial** to begin your 14-day free trial, or paste the license key from your email and press **Activate**. No key yet? Press **Buy**.
- Already have a paid key from the previous version? Nothing to do: SMBAct migrates it automatically on first start.

Your licenses and downloads are managed in your GigLabo account at <https://giglabo.com>. If something goes wrong, please [let us know](https://smblob.com/smb/support/).

### 3. Use

After activation all pages are available and you can use SMBAct without restrictions.

The free trial lasts 14 days with full functionality, one trial per email. After that a license is required: a one-time fee from €14.99 (see [prices](https://smblob.com/products/smbact/#pricing)).

## Installation guides

- [Install SMBAct on Windows](https://smblob.com/products/smbact/documentation/install-windows/): the Windows builds are not signed with a Microsoft certificate yet. In Edge, choose … › Keep › Keep anyway; on first launch, in “Windows protected your PC”, choose More info › Run anyway.
- [SMBAct on Ubuntu GNOME (Wayland)](https://smblob.com/products/smbact/documentation/gnome-wayland/): click Install in the SMBAct banner and log out once to start the SMBAct GNOME Shell extension.
- [SMBAct on KDE Plasma (Wayland)](https://smblob.com/products/smbact/documentation/kde-plasma-wayland/): nothing to install; check the hotkeys Plasma already uses.
- The Linux desktop plugins (GNOME Shell extension, KWin script) are open source: [GigLaboCom/smbact-shell](https://github.com/GigLaboCom/smbact-shell) on GitHub.
- [Install SMBAct on macOS](https://smblob.com/products/smbact/documentation/install-macos/): drag SMBAct to Applications, click Open on first launch, then allow Accessibility and Screen Recording.
