OpenFile v1.2.0
OpenFile as an app on every device. Same tools, same privacy: everything runs on your device and nothing is uploaded.
| Platform | File |
|---|---|
| Windows 10 and 11 | OpenFile-windows-x64-setup.exe (recommended) or OpenFile-windows-x64.msi |
| macOS 11+ (Apple silicon and Intel) | OpenFile-macos-universal.dmg |

| Android 7+ | OpenFile-android.apk |

Installed apps update themselves from here: desktop apps through the signed latest.json feed, Android through the in-app update check, the web app through its service worker. If you have the v1.1.0 Android APK, uninstall it once before installing this one (it was signed with a temporary key).
The installers are not code signed by Apple or Microsoft yet. Windows: SmartScreen, More info, Run anyway. macOS: right-click OpenFile in Applications, Open, then Open. Android: allow installs from your browser once.
