Setup · macOS

Open Terminal and install:

chmod +x ~/Downloads/pinky-darwin-arm64
sudo mv ~/Downloads/pinky-darwin-arm64 /usr/local/bin/pinky
curl -fsSL https://pinky.sh/downloads/pinky-audio-helper -o /tmp/pah
chmod +x /tmp/pah && sudo mv /tmp/pah /usr/local/bin/pinky-audio-helper

pinky login
pinky on

First run: Pinky installs an audio driver and may ask you to restart your Mac. After restart, you'll set up two audio devices in Audio MIDI Setup (Pinky walks you through it, one-time only). It also asks for Screen Recording and Microphone permissions. It opens the settings page. Just click Allow.

Setup · Windows

Move the downloaded file and add to PATH:

mkdir C:\pinky
move %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\pinky-windows.exe C:\pinky\pinky.exe

Add C:\pinky to your system PATH.

Install FFmpeg:

winget install ffmpeg

pinky login
pinky on

First run: Pinky enables system audio capture. You may see a permission popup. Click Yes.

Setup · Linux

Download and install:

curl -fsSL https://pinky.sh/downloads/pinky-linux-amd64 -o pinky
chmod +x pinky && sudo mv pinky /usr/local/bin/pinky
sudo apt install ffmpeg

pinky login
pinky on

Works out of the box if PulseAudio is running (default on most desktop Linux).
