About the Windows SmartScreen warning

The first time you run one of my Windows installers, Windows may show a blue "Windows protected your PC" dialog. This is Microsoft Defender SmartScreen. It appears for any program that is not signed with a paid code-signing certificate and has not yet built up a large download history, not because anything harmful was detected.

My installers are unsigned; this is a deliberate choice. Certificates cost a meaningful annual fee; SmartScreen's reputation system only clears once an installer has accumulated tens of thousands of downloads, a bar independent software rarely meets, so the warning would likely persist even after paying. I would rather keep the software free, open and self-funded.

To verify what you're running

Every installer is published through GitHub Releases and linked directly from its project page on this site. Download only from this site or from the linked GitHub release page, never from a third-party download site. Where a project is open source, the installer is built from the repository you can read.
