Installation & Notes

• 💻 Windows: Download the .msi file to install.
• 🐧 Linux: Download the .AppImage (for most distributions) or the .deb / .rpm file for your package manager. For Flatpak, see below.
• 🍎 macOS: Download the aarch64.dmg (Apple Silicon) or x64.dmg (Intel) file.

📦 Flatpak (recommended on rolling distros)

Adds Chronicler as a Flatpak remote so future updates flow through flatpak update:

flatpak install --user --from https://flatpak.chronicler.pro/chronicler.flatpakref

Or one-shot install the bundle from this release:

flatpak install --user Chronicler.flatpak

⚠️ A Note for Windows Users

When you first run the installer, Microsoft Defender may show a "Windows protected your PC" screen. This is expected because Chronicler is a new application from an independent developer and is not yet code-signed.

To proceed, simply click "More info" and then "Run anyway".

🍎 A Note for macOS Users

Chronicler for macOS is currently unsigned. The first time you open it, you will need to run a command in the Terminal.

1. Download the .dmg file and move the app to your Applications folder.
2. Open the Terminal app.
3. Run this command:

   sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/chronicler.app

4. The app will now open correctly.

🛡️ Security & Trust

While the initial installer is unsigned, all in-app updates are cryptographically signed by me. This is handled by Tauri's built-in updater, which verifies the update signature before installing it. This ensures that all future updates are authentic and have not been tampered with.
