Reason

Own your social network

Reason is a decentralized social platform where you own your data. Built on the Wish P2P stack, it connects you directly to friends without central servers. Share posts, images, and videos - all encrypted and stored on your devices.

Reason serves as an example application demonstrating the Wish Model - an architecture for building distributed apps with identity at the foundation.

Download

macOS

Architecture	Download
Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3+)	Reason-v0.1.21-macos-arm64.dmg
Intel	Reason-v0.1.21-macos-x64.dmg

Requirements: macOS 12 (Monterey) or later. Requires the Wish app running (it provides the wish-core networking layer).

These builds are ad-hoc signed (not yet notarized with an Apple Developer ID), so on first launch right-click the app and select "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper.

Linux

Format	Download
Debian (.deb)	Reason-v0.1.21-linux-x64.deb

Install the .deb with sudo apt install ./Reason-v0.1.21-linux-x64.deb.

Android

Architecture	Download
arm64 (most phones)	Reason-v0.1.21-android-arm64.apk

Requirements: Android 7 (API 24) or later. The APK is fully standalone — the wish-core kernel is embedded, so no separate Wish app is needed on mobile. Enable "install from unknown sources" to sideload it.
