Installing the app: expect a few security prompts
The installer isn't code-signed yet, so both Chrome and Windows will treat the download with suspicion the first time you grab it. None of these prompts mean anything is wrong; they're the standard treatment any unsigned executable gets from a publisher Windows hasn't seen before. Here's what to expect.
1. Chrome download warning
Chrome's Safe Browsing may flag the .exe during download with a banner asking
you to Scan or saying the file is uncommon. Let the scan run if
offered, then click Keep (or Keep anyway) on the bottom
bar to allow the download to finish.
2. Microsoft Defender SmartScreen
When you run the installer, Windows shows:
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.
- Click the small More info text under the title.
- A Run anyway button appears in the bottom-right; click it.
- The installer continues normally.
You'll see the same prompts every release. Each new installer is a fresh unsigned binary with a brand-new file hash, and SmartScreen evaluates every download independently. Code signing is on the roadmap; that's what lets the warnings go away (after the certificate's reputation builds across a few releases).
What's in it
- Priority tiers. P0 / A1 / A2 / B1 sections, color-coded, collapsible.
- Categories. Sidebar buttons (built-in or custom) to slice the list. Drag any item between them.
- Today view. Flat focus list, auto-clears each new day; items restore to their original category.
- Board view. Sticky-note cards with inline editing, color picker, "+ Add a note" placeholder.
- Critical pin. Pin anything to the top across every view; highlighted in yellow.
- Age alerts. Untouched items shade amber → orange → red on a priority-aware schedule.
- Sub-items, URLs, audit log. Every action recorded; links auto-detected from notes.
- Toast + chime. Optional Windows notifications and audio reminders for P0 work.
- Import / export. Plain text or CSV; round-trips cleanly.
- Offline, private. Local SQLite, no accounts, no telemetry.
