# Build Channels
LunaSea offers four different build channels, each of which supply signed and notarized copies of LunaSea.
All releases for every build channel can be downloaded from the [build bucket](https://builds.lunasea.app), and all stable releases for all platforms are also available on [GitHub](https://github.com/JagandeepBrar/LunaSea/releases).
- [Android](/releases/android)
- [iOS](/releases/ios)
- [Linux](/releases/linux)
- [macOS](/releases/macos)
- [Web](/releases/web)
- [Windows](/releases/windows/)
## Stable
This is the store version and will remain the most stable version. No in-progress features will be deployed to this channel.
## Candidate
This channel is focused around _final release candidate testing of completed new features_ leading up to the release to stable. This channel is intended to help catch any remaining bugs from beta builds and overall should remain relatively stable.
## Beta
this channel is focused around _early previews and testing of work-in-progress features_. This channel is intended to allow users to give feedback to the developer on features that are actively being worked on.
## Edge
This channel's purpose is to _ensure that every commit made to master is building across all platforms_ and allows for easier access to a build for each commit. This is not intended to be used by the average user, but is for community developers or users who need to test a recently added fix that has not yet reached the beta channel.
There are no restrictions on features in these builds (barring a very specific subset used for debugging/testing) so it gives full access to everything that is work in progress.
**Do not expect a fully stable experience if you use these builds**, as it is entirely possible that a single build could cause problems including but not limited to database corruption. If you are running these builds, please ensure you have either a cloud or offline backup available for easy restoration.
