Install & preferences

How to get installers from this site and configure language, theme, and the local proxy port inside the app.

Get installers

From the homepage downloads, open a release page for your platform. Outside mainland China, prefer GitHub Releases; inside China, prefer Gitee Releases. Formats (.deb, AppImage, .dmg, Windows setup, etc.) follow the assets on each release page.

If a mirror is unreachable, retry later or switch to the other mirror.

First launch

After install, open DevPeek. The main view defaults to Capture. For UI language or light/dark theme, use Settings (gear) → Preferences.

  • Language: applies immediately to menus and labels.
  • Proxy port: local HTTP(S) proxy listen port (1–65535). Saving restarts the local proxy process. If the port is busy, save fails and the previous port stays.
  • System proxy: when “Set as system proxy” is enabled, port changes propagate to the OS proxy (behavior depends on the OS).

Check for updates

Open Release notes / update log from the menu to see new versions. If auto-update is enabled in your build and the network allows, updates download when prompted. If checks always fail, verify connectivity, restrictive networks, or whether your channel includes an update feed.

Other entries (settings menu)

  • About DevPeek: short blurb, version, and platform.
  • Script manager / SSL proxy / Breakpoints / Throttling presets: covered in later sections.
  • Script log: output from global scripts per phase.
