Recording of v1.0.0
Amfora aims to be the best looking Gemini client with the most features... all in the terminal. It does not support Gopher or other non-Web protocols - check out Bombadillo for that.
It also aims to be completely cross platform, with full Windows support. If you're on Windows, I would not recommend using the default terminal software. Use Windows Terminal instead, and make sure it works with UTF-8. Note that some of the application colors might not display correctly on Windows, but all functionality will still work.
It fully passes Sean Conman's client torture test, including the new Unicode tests. It mostly passes the Egsam test.
Installation
Binary
Download a binary from the releases page. On Unix-based systems you might have to make the file executable with chmod +x <filename>
. You can rename the file to just amfora
for easy access, and move it to /usr/local/bin/
.
On Windows, make sure you click "Advanced > Run anyway" after double-clicking, or something like that.
Unix systems can install the desktop entry file to get Amfora to appear when they search for applications:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora/master/amfora.desktop -o ~/.local/share/applications/amfora.desktop
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications
Make sure to click "Watch" > "Releases only" in the top right to get notified about new releases!
Arch Linux
Arch Linux users can install Amfora from AUR. It has the package name amfora
, and is maintained by @pboyd.
yay -S amfora
Homebrew
If you use Homebrew, you can install Amfora through the official tap.
brew tap makeworld-the-better-one/tap
brew install amfora
You can update it with:
brew upgrade amfora
From Source
This section is for programmers who want to install from source. Make sure you're using Go 1.13 at least, as earlier versions will fail to build.
The recommended way of installing Amfora fom source is using the Makefile.
On Windows, you need install make, which can be done with Chocolatey: choco install make
. Please note the Makefile does not intend to support Windows, and so there may be issues.
git clone https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora
cd amfora
# git checkout v1.2.3 # Optionally pin to a specific version instead of the latest commit
make
sudo make install # If you want to install the binary for all users
Because you installed with the Makefile, running amfora -v
will tell you exactly what commit the binary was built from.
Usage
Just call amfora
or amfora <url>
on the terminal. On Windows it might be amfora.exe
instead.
To determine the version, you can run amfora --version
or amfora -v
.
The project keeps many standard terminal keybindings and is intuitive. Press ? inside the application to pull up the help menu with a list of all the keybindings, and Esc to leave it. If you have used Bombadillo you will find it similar.
It is designed with large terminals in mind, but should look and work well at any reasonable terminal size.
It was tested with left-to-right languages, and will likely not work as well with right-to-left languages like Arabic.

, or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/amfora/config.toml
, if that variable is set.
On Windows, the file is in %APPDATA%\amfora\config.toml
