110 packages, each a single self-contained binary. Install any of them with unpin install <name>.
✓* in the Windows column marks programs whose Windows build is compiled with the Cosmopolitan toolchain — a POSIX-compatibility layer we use for programs the standard mingw cross can't build (those that assume fork, waitpid, or signals at runtime). The shipped file is still an ordinary Windows x86_64 PE32+ .exe — the same single self-contained binary as every other Windows build, not a Cosmopolitan APE “fat” binary that runs on multiple OSes. A plain ✓ is a mingw build; the distinction is only the build toolchain, never the shipped format.

Not every program ships on every OS: some are Linux-specific (util-linux, shadow, kmod), others rely on platform APIs that aren't available or portable on Windows (htop, tmux). Support is tracked per program in the table above.
A Linux ✓ covers six architectures — x86_64, aarch64, armv7l, i686, ppc64le, and riscv64; a macOS ✓ covers Intel and Apple Silicon, and Windows builds are x86_64.
Download is the compressed (zstd) x86_64 Linux asset — what unpin fetches; the macOS and Windows downloads are in the same ballpark.
