May or Shall now runs at app.mayorshall.com. Sign in with your email address. There is no download, no database and no setup, and a sample matter is waiting in your account.
This release exists for the two companion clients. You do not need it to use the app.
Web Clipper (Chrome and Edge)
Install it from the Chrome Web Store, which works in Edge too, then sign in to the web app. Being signed in is the connection, so there is no token to copy and nothing to configure. may-or-shall-web-clipper.zip is here only for sideloading or review.
Word add in
Sideload may-or-shall-word-manifest-hosted.xml. The pane is served from app.mayorshall.com and signs in with a code emailed to you, because a task pane cannot share the browser session. may-or-shall-word-manifest.xml is the variant that points at your own server on localhost.
Running your own copy
May or Shall is free software under the GNU AGPL v3. It needs Node 20 or later and a PostgreSQL database. See the README and DEPLOY.md.
Note on earlier releases
v2.0.0 and everything before it shipped a desktop app, or a local server, that kept your data on your own machine. That approach is superseded. Those downloads are left in place for the record, but they will not work against the hosted app and are not maintained.
