What you're installing

Real screenshots, honest state

These are unretouched captures of the actual Experimental surfaces — shown in the state a first launch honestly renders, not a mockup of a finished product.

OpenAdapt Desktop
OpenAdapt Desktop connect screen: a Sign in card with a host field, a browser sign-in button, and an ingest-token paste option.
The desktop app's connect screen — rendered from the Experimental prerelease's unmodified interface code (v0.6.1) with no engine attached. First launch asks you to sign in or paste an ingest token; workflow authoring surfaces open after the engine connects. Experimental prerelease, unsigned or ad-hoc-signed builds — see the release notes before installing.
macOS menu bar
The openadapt-tray menu open in the macOS menu bar with items for Start Recording, Recent Captures, Open Desktop App, Open Cloud Dashboard, Sync (offline), Login, Settings, and Quit.
The experimental tray companion openadapt-tray 0.1.1, a separate pip install openadapt-tray package, captured live on macOS in its real standalone state. It mirrors status and launches surfaces; it is not included in the installers on this page, and no released desktop build provides the companion service it connects to yet.

Capture provenance for both screenshots is recorded in the media manifest.

First launch

Current Experimental builds may trigger an operating-system publisher warning. Verify the release checksum before overriding it.

macOS

The DMGs are ad-hoc signed, not yet Developer ID notarized. In Finder, Control-click OpenAdapt Desktop, choose Open, then confirm Open. Only override Gatekeeper after verifying the release checksum.

Windows

The Windows installers are not yet Authenticode signed. If SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC," verify the release checksum, then choose More info and Run anyway.

Download SHA256SUMS and verify GitHub build provenance from the release before installing.
