✦ Set up Glow

Every Glow app, in one step.

All Glow apps are free and run in your browser. Installing just gives them their own windows and icons, and adds Glow Hands so GlowLead can use a web browser for you.

Windows PC

Glow Setup: all apps + Glow Hands

⬇ Download Glow Setup for Windows

Glow-Setup.exe · about 60 KB · Windows 10 and 11 · no admin rights needed

  1. Click Download Glow Setup, then open Glow-Setup.exe from your downloads.
  2. Press Install. It takes about a minute.
  3. Press Open Glow. Done: every Glow app is in the Start menu and on your desktop.

Glow Setup isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may ask first. In Edge choose Keep (⋯ → Keep → Keep anyway); if a blue “Windows protected your PC” box appears, click More info → Run anyway.

Other ways: one command, options

The same installer as one line: press Win + R, paste it and press Enter.

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/juw12/projects/main/apps/glow/install-glow.ps1 | iex"

Set an option first, in the same Win+R line, e.g. $env:GLOW_SKIP_HANDS='1'; irm …/install-glow.ps1 | iex:

  • GLOW_SKIP_HANDS=1: only the app shortcuts, no Glow Hands
  • GLOW_NO_DESKTOP=1: Start menu only
  • GLOW_UNINSTALL=1: remove the shortcuts and Glow Hands (your chats stay in the browser)
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "$env:GLOW_UNINSTALL='1'; irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/juw12/projects/main/apps/glow/install-glow.ps1 | iex"
Android

Glow app

GlowLead as a real app with its own built-in browser: browser missions run on the phone itself, no PC needed.

Download Glow-android.apk

Open the file and allow “install unknown apps” for your browser once. GlowChat and GlowRoom: open them in Chrome and choose Add to Home screen.

iPhone · iPad

Add to Home Screen

  1. Open juw12.github.io/projects/glow in Safari or Chrome.
  2. Tap Share → Add to Home Screen. Repeat for GlowLead, GlowChat and GlowRoom.
  3. For browser missions, in GlowLead open Glow Hands → Connect browser control and pick Start instant cloud browser, or link your PC (below).

The Home Screen app is the free iPhone version of Glow: full screen, works offline and keeps its own storage. Glow isn't in the App Store (Apple charges developers 99 US dollars a year). Step-by-step guide

Mac · Linux

Install from the browser

Open each app in Chrome or Edge and click the Install icon in the address bar (or use the Install buttons on the Glow home).

Always-on Glow Hands for a Linux machine (Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi, a free cloud VM). It prints a QR code for your phone:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/juw12/projects/main/apps/glow/hands/install-glow-hands-linux.sh | bash

Glow Hands isn't packaged for Mac yet; use the instant cloud browser or link a Windows/Linux PC.

Phone + PC

Use your PC's browser from your phone

  1. On the PC (after Glow Setup), open GlowLead → Glow Hands → Use from your phone.
  2. Scan the QR code with your phone. GlowLead on the phone now drives the PC's browser.
  3. Approvals (submit, buy, send, delete) pop up on the phone; passwords you type yourself.

How the Glow apps connect

One site, one browser storage: every Glow app on the same browser shares your Glow account, chats, missions and plan. GlowLead is the lead that hands work to the others.

ConnectionHow it worksWhat you do
Apps ↔ appsSame site (juw12.github.io), so the apps share browser storage: account, chats, missions, Glow Pro key. GlowLead calls GlowChat and the GlowRoom crew directly.Nothing. Use the same browser on a device. Different browsers or devices don't sync.
GlowLead ↔ Glow Hands (PC)Glow Hands runs on your PC at 127.0.0.1 (ports 8765–8770) and pairs with GlowLead using a token; nothing goes through the internet.Run Glow Setup; allow local network access if the browser asks.
Phone ↔ PCA direct, encrypted peer-to-peer link (WebRTC) from GlowLead on the phone to Glow Hands on the PC.GlowLead → Glow Hands → Use from your phone, scan the QR.
Android appGlowLead bundled with a native browser panel that Glow Hands' rules drive (no local addresses, password fields left to you).Install the APK.
Instant cloud browserA Cloudflare browser opened only at the first website step and closed after the mission (shared free time).GlowLead → Connect browser control → Start instant cloud browser.
AIGlow Free AI needs no sign-in (shared, about one reply every 30 s); a free Puter sign-in or your own API key gives faster models.Optional: sign in once in GlowChat; it works in every app.
Scheduled missionsGlowLead automations run while a Glow tab is open; the optional GitHub Actions runner runs them on a schedule without a PC.GlowLead → Automate…
