The product is Wherry, at wherry.app. Same application, new name, new
domain, new store identifiers — landed before anything shipped outward,
which is the only window in which it was cheap.

  • wherry.app is live and serving production. chat.cjtechsystems.com serves
    the same deployment through the transition, so nobody is cut off: emailed
    links and hub invite links in delivered messages still resolve, and
    installed builds keep working until their owners take this release.
  • Store identifiers are app.wherry on both platforms, permanent from the
    first published listing. Both generated projects were regenerated for it.
  • Mail moved to notify.wherry.app with a fresh DKIM key, SPF and DMARC.
  • The client is now published as a source-available mirror at
    github.com/wherryapp/wherry under PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0, so the
    encryption claims can be checked against something.

Upgrading: web and PWA users sign in again at the new address — browser
storage is per origin, so this is a fresh device row and history refills
from the archive. Nothing is lost. Desktop and mobile need this build,
because the API base is baked in.

Installing

Nothing here is code-signed yet, so the OS will object on first run:

  • Windows — SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC". More info → Run anyway.
  • macOS — right-click the app → Open, rather than double-clicking. The .dmg is unsigned and unnotarised.
  • Linux — .deb, .rpm and .AppImage; mark the AppImage executable.

Signing and notarisation are deliberate later work, not an oversight.
