Installing the app.

  1. Open the download page

    The page detects the system and offers that build first. The version offered is printed under the button.

  2. Clear the quick check

    A human check runs before the links appear. Every other platform stays one click away on the same page.

  3. Install it and start reading

    External API keys are supported. Signing in happens in the browser and hands the app a token back, so no password is typed into the app.
