Varieties
Different ways to enjoy Ctrl+Shift+3 — same text community, pick the form that fits.
Website
Use it in any modern browser at ctrlshift3.com.
PWA
Open the website in a supporting browser, then use that browser’s install app or “Add to Home Screen” option for a dedicated icon and fuller-screen feel.
iOS
Native app for iPhone: Ctrl+Shift+3 on the App Store.
CLI
A terminal client for catching up on the feed, comments, your wall, pings, and settings — plus compose, edit, and delete plain-text thoughts.
Mac or Linux (recommended): open Terminal and paste:
curl -fsSL https://ctrlshift3.com/CLI/install.sh | bash
That installs cs3 into ~/bin and starts it (no Gatekeeper “Open anyway” dance).
Windows (recommended): open PowerShell and paste:
irm https://ctrlshift3.com/CLI/install.ps1 | iex
That installs cs3.exe under your user folder (%LOCALAPPDATA%\cs3) and starts it.
Next time you open a terminal, you do not need the install command again. Run:
- Mac:
~/bin/cs3(or justcs3if~/binis on your PATH) - Linux:
~/bin/cs3(or justcs3if~/binis on your PATH) - Windows:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\cs3\cs3.exe(or justcs3in PowerShell if that folder is on your PATH)
Or download a zip for offline / manual install, unzip, open the launcher, and log in with your site account.
