About

This is an unofficial Linux desktop client for Duolingo, which works as a wrapper around the official web app.

Installation

Note: Only the FlatHub version is officially supported by this repository. The AUR and Snap versions are community-maintained. Please report any issues with these versions on their respective pages.

Using a package manager

On Arch Linux, the package is available on the AUR: duolingo-desktop-bin.
Please note that the package duolingo-desktop-git has not been updated since 2020. Therefore, we recommend using duolingo-desktop-bin for installing Duolingo on Arch.
