As mentioned above, there are workarounds to run the client on Linux, but rewriting the app to create a native version is just too much effort for two hobby devs. I wish I had designed it that way from the beginning, but it simply grew from a two-user app with the tools we had to a 5,000-user app, and now here we are.

No native one but it is possible to run the client on linux via wine.
