Why direct downloads?

We are pre-store today — and that is fine.

The Play Store, App Store, and Chrome Web Store reviews take weeks. Rather than block customer launches, we ship the same signed, auto-updating builds via direct download. Once approved, customers already on direct-install will roll over seamlessly — same release manifest, same update channel.

  • All installers are code-signed (Authenticode / Apple-notarised / Android v2 signature).
  • Auto-update server keeps every fleet on the latest STABLE channel.
  • You can pin a screen / fleet to a specific version from CMS → Releases.
  • Migration to store-installed builds will be automatic when stores approve.
