v0.1.4

HomeNetCheck 0.1.4 — first official public release.

A one-button desktop app that checks your home network and explains the results in plain English. This release ships unsigned binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Versions 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.1.2, and 0.1.3 were pre-released during the CI fix loop and should be considered unreleased. 0.1.4 is the first official release.

How to open

HomeNetCheck is not code-signed, so your OS will warn you the first time. See below for the one-time bypass per platform.

Windows

1. Download homenetcheck-windows.exe.
2. Double-click it. A window says "Windows protected your PC."
3. Click More info, then Run anyway.
4. HomeNetCheck opens.

macOS

1. Download homenetcheck-macos.dmg, open it, and drag HomeNetCheck to Applications.
2. Double-click HomeNetCheck. If it is blocked, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
3. The first time, right-click (or Control-click) HomeNetCheck and choose Open, then confirm Open. After that, double-click works.

Linux

1. Download homenetcheck-linux.AppImage.
2. Make it executable: chmod +x homenetcheck-linux.AppImage.
3. Double-click it or run ./homenetcheck-linux.AppImage.

If AppImage won't run, install fuse / libfuse2 for your distro.
