Static musl builds for x86-64 and ARM Linux, and native builds for Intel and Apple silicon Macs. Every archive ships a SHA-256 file beside it. A Windows zip is built too, but it has never been run on Windows, so treat it as untested.

Where the data comes from

What	Endpoint	Refresh
Scores	the NHL's own public API	30 s
Standings, schedule	same	5 min
Leaders	same	5 min

Public and keyless, which is why there is nothing to configure. Only the feeds that have gone stale are refetched, so a day of watching costs very little traffic.

The app renders to stderr, so stdout stays free and piping it is safe.
