Only the latest release on the Releases page is supported. Older versions will not receive fixes.

Perch is a local Windows desktop app. It:

• Reads files from a source folder you choose.
• Writes files to a destination folder you choose.
• Makes one outbound HTTPS call per launch to api.github.com to check the latest release version (read-only, no authentication, cached for 24 hours).

It does not open network listeners, does not transmit your imagery, and does not run code it downloads.

Please report security issues privately using GitHub's private vulnerability reporting:

https://github.com/Dozer3530/Perch/security/advisories/new

Please do not open a public issue for a security problem.

Include:

• The Perch version (visible in the window title or perch/__init__.py).
• Your Windows version.
• Steps to reproduce.
• The impact you observed or believe is possible.

A response is aimed for within a few business days. Fixes ship via the normal release workflow (a new v* tag triggers a signed-by-no-one-but-built-by-CI Perch.exe on the Releases page).
