Thanks — your download is on its way.

It should be in your Downloads folder in a moment. Here is what to do with it.

Beta This is an early build and it will have rough edges. It is new, it has been tested by very few people, and it may misbehave — expect that rather than a finished app. The one thing it cannot do is damage your family tree: it only ever reads the .ftree you open, and never writes to it. Building and editing a tree is still the Android app's job.

Verify the file

Nothing here is code-signed, so this is the honest way to confirm the file is intact. Run the command and compare it with the digest below.

Expected SHA-256: published with the release

What this does and does not prove. The checksum is published with the release, so it catches a truncated, corrupted or tampered-with download — not a compromised release, since both would come from the same place. Only code signing fixes that. It is still worth thirty seconds before running an installer.

Nothing leaves your computer

No account, no upload, no telemetry. The window is refused the network outright — its typefaces are read from disk rather than fetched from Google. The only request the app can make is the update check under Updates, and both switches there are off until you turn them on.
