Mac

Prebuild binaries - https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/releases/
Snap package - https://snapcraft.io/czkawka
Flatpak package - https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.qarmin.czkawka

Compilation

Compilation of gui is harder that compilation cli or core, because uses gtk4 which is written in C and also requires a lot build and runtime dependencies.

Linux (Ubuntu, but on other OS should work similar)

sudo apt install libgtk-4-dev libheif-dev -y
cargo run --release --bin czkawka_gui

Mac

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew install rustup gtk4 adwaita-icon-theme ffmpeg librsvg libheif pkg-config
rustup-init
cargo run --release --bin czkawka_gui

Windows

Currently, it is not possible to compile app natively on Windows, but is possible to cross-compile it from Linux.
You can check for CI for instructions how to cross-compile app(uses prebuilt docker image) - CI Instructions

Limitations

Not all available features in core are available in GUI and also there are limitations between platforms:

• Snap versions not allows to use similar videos feature
• Windows version not supports heif and webp files
• Prebuild binaries for mac arm not exists
