Serpdeck 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 Serpdeck installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/serpdeck-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
Serpdeck runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Serpdeck is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Serpdeck on Linux — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — the full source is MIT at github.com/bensblueprints/serpdeck-mvp. The $99 buys the packaged installer and updates for people who'd rather not git clone.
Why do I need my own API key? Why not just scrape Google?
Because direct scraping is a non-starter for a product: Google CAPTCHA-walls datacenter IPs within dozens of queries, it violates Google's ToS, accurate geo/device targeting needs proxy infrastructure the API providers already run at scale, and every Google markup change would break every install. SERP APIs cost fractions of a cent per keyword — a fairly active install (100 keywords daily via DataForSEO) runs $2-6/month. There is no direct-scrape mode, and there never will be.
