Getting Started

Goal: install Cultiva on Windows, open the app, and know where your data lives.

Download

Grab the latest build from GitHub Releases.

Artifact	Use case
Installer (`Cultiva-Setup.exe`)	Recommended — Start menu, uninstaller, shortcuts
Portable (`Cultiva-Portable.exe`)	Run from a folder or USB without a full install

Both targets are 64-bit Windows only for now.

Run the installer or portable executable.
Windows SmartScreen may prompt once — publisher depends on code-signing (unsigned builds show a generic warning).
The first open may take a moment while IndexedDB initializes.
Open Settings (gear) to pick language, theme, and background.

Section	What you can change
Appearance	Theme (light / dark groups + Auto), animated or custom background, optional custom photo
Plugins	Enable plugins, install from registry, open plugin-related UI
Notifications	Native OS notifications where supported
Shortcuts	Reference only (bindings planned for a future release)

Installed app: profile data under the OS user profile (Electron userData).
Portable: data next to / relative to the portable layout as configured by Electron (see Privacy and Security).

Your habits and settings do not require a cloud login for normal use.
