Signet 1.0.1 — first public build
A local, encrypted vault for the people you leave behind. No servers, no cloud, no subscriptions.
Install
Windows 10 / 11
- Signet_1.0.1_x64-setup.exe — installer with Start menu entry and uninstaller
- Signet_1.0.1_x64-portable.exe — portable build, drop it on a USB alongside your vault
Requires Microsoft Edge WebView2 (preinstalled on Win11).
macOS 10.15+
- Signet_1.0.1_aarch64.dmg — Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4)
- Signet_1.0.1_x64.dmg — Intel Macs
Not sure which? Apple menu → About This Mac → "Chip / Processor". Apple M* = aarch64; Intel Core * = x64.
Open the .dmg, drag Signet to Applications. On first launch macOS will refuse to open it (Signet is not yet signed with a paid Apple Developer ID). To get past the warning, right-click the app in /Applications and choose Open, then click Open in the dialog. macOS remembers the choice forever.
Or from Terminal in one shot:
