fishka.bio offline package
Download the offline package
The public fishka.bio site already runs entirely in your browser — your data never leaves your computer, and nothing you do is tracked. Reach for this self-contained package only when you truly need to work offline, or when your organization requires its own hosted copy.
Install it as an app
If all you want is fishka.bio in its own desktop window — no zip, no unpacking — install the site as an application instead. In Chrome or Edge, open it and click the install icon at the right-hand end of the address bar: it lands in your dock or Start menu and opens without tabs or browser toolbars, while still running the same code from the same address, so it stays up to date on its own.
Run it locally
- Download the zip and unpack the whole folder.
- Open
index.htmlin your browser. - Add that local page to your browser bookmarks if you use it often.
Host it inside your organization
Give the zip to your organization's admin and ask them to unpack the whole folder anywhere on an internal web server. A subfolder is fine — for example: http://host:8080/fishka/
The package is static files only — it needs no backend. nginx, Apache, a simple Python HTTP server, or any other internal static server will do.
Verify that it stays offline
Disconnect from the network, then reopen the local page and use the tool. Bundled samples and your own files keep working — the app never contacts an external server.
