Usage

Installer

1. Download the latest Flect-Setup.exe from Releases.
2. Run Setup and complete installation.

PowerShell

irm https://flect.konayuki.xyz/install.ps1 | iex

Caution

PowerShell scripts provided in the format `irm | iex` are commands that directly execute files hosted on the web. Although Flect does not engage in privacy-violating activities such as data interception, make sure the script is actually safe when executing any PowerShell scripts, as this same method could potentially be used to download malware.

　

The script downloads the latest Setup from Releases, checks its SHA256 against the one GitHub publishes, and installs Flect. If the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime is missing, it asks before installing it, and Windows then asks for administrator permission.

After installing, right-click any file or folder and choose Show more options to find Flect.

Why "Show more options"? - Windows 11 gives its short right-click menu. You can bring it up to the top level. See FAQ below.

To change detailed settings, open Flect from the Start menu.
