Docsmith API on Linux
Build from the open source or run the desktop build on Linux — same pay-once license, no telemetry.
Setup on Linux
Download the installer
Download the latest Docsmith API installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/api-docs-generator-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
Docsmith API runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Docsmith API is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Docsmith API on Linux — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes. Docsmith API is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/api-docs-generator-mvp and always will be. The $29 buys the packaged Windows installer; building from source is free.
Does my API spec leave my machine?
No. Docsmith is 100% local, an offline desktop app, so your spec never leaves your computer. The static export you generate is yours to host wherever you like.
