Platforms
Install Install Dock on your computer. USB Android is the primary deploy target — phones and tablets are targets, not Install Dock install platforms.
Host vs target
Download for Windows, macOS, or Linux. USB Android via ADB is the primary target. Authorized local OS installers cover IPA (Mac only), macOS .pkg, Windows .msi, and Linux .deb — not unsigned sideload or silent fleet install.
Run the app on your computer
Install Dock is a desktop host application. It runs on your computer and connects to Android devices over USB — your PC or Mac is the operator console, not the install target.
Installers for each host platform are listed on the Download page. Go to Download →
Package capabilities
Recognition of a file type does not mean installation is available. Unsupported run paths are identified honestly — never processed with the wrong installer.

.apk | Yes | USB ADB | Primary path for Android devices. |
.apks / .xapk / .apkm | Yes | USB ADB | Split sets via install-multiple. |

- USB data cable (charge-only cables will not work)
- USB debugging enabled on the Android device
- Android platform-tools (ADB) — discovered automatically or set in Settings
Not a mobile app
