Windows Users: Expect a Security Warning

This is completely normal. Since we're in beta, the installer isn't code-signed yet. Windows SmartScreen will show a "Windows protected your PC" warning when you run the installer.

You'll see this screen:

"Windows protected your PC — Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting..."

  1. Click "More info"
  2. Click "Run anyway"
  3. The installer will start normally

Here's what the Windows SmartScreen warning looks like:

Why isn't it signed? We're currently in the process of getting our code signing certificate. We're waiting for our business listing verification and certificate shipment. Until then, this warning is expected for all new/unsigned software. The app is safe—you can verify the download comes directly from our official releases.

Common Questions

Is this safe to install?

Yes! The SmartScreen warning appears because the installer isn't code-signed, not because it's unsafe. Nidra is built with Electron and modern web technologies. All downloads come from our official GitHub releases. You can verify the download integrity if you want extra assurance.

When will you add code signing?

We're actively working on it! We've applied for our code signing certificate and are currently waiting for our business listing verification and certificate shipment. Once the certificate arrives and is installed, the SmartScreen warning will disappear for all future releases.

Does it phone home or collect data?

Nidra is privacy-first. All your data stays on your machine. We use anonymous analytics to understand feature usage, but we never collect your API endpoints, request data, or credentials. The app requires an internet connection every 14 days to verify your license, but otherwise works offline. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

How do I uninstall?

Windows: Settings → Apps → Nidra → Uninstall
macOS: Drag Nidra from Applications to Trash
Linux: Delete the AppImage file

Your data is stored separately and won't be automatically deleted (in case you reinstall later). You can manually delete %APPDATA%\nidra (Windows), ~/Library/Application Support/nidra (macOS), or ~/.config/nidra (Linux) to remove all traces.

Can I use this commercially?

Yes! The 30-day trial includes all features with no restrictions. After the trial, you'll need a paid license. Personal licenses are for individual use, while Team and Enterprise licenses support multiple users. See our Terms of Service for full details.
