Chatterbox on Windows
Signed Windows installers with one-click setup — the full app runs locally on your PC, no account needed.
Setup on Windows
Download the installer
Download the latest Chatterbox installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/chatterbox-comments-mvp/releases) — or build it yourself from the MIT source.
Install
Run the installer — one click, no terminal, no account to create.
Run it locally
Chatterbox runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Chatterbox is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Chatterbox on Windows — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — the full source is MIT at github.com/bensblueprints/chatterbox-comments-mvp. The $69 buys the packaged installer and updates instead of npm-and-docker setup.
Can I migrate from Disqus?
Yes — upload your Disqus XML export, dry-run to see the counts, then commit. The import is idempotent by disqus_id, so re-running the same file never double-imports.
