What Windows shows the first time, and the two clicks past it.

Installed in about a minute.

  1. Keep the download

    If your browser says the file isn't commonly downloaded, open the download list and choose Keep. Browsers say this about new files that few people have downloaded yet.

  2. Run the installer

    Open the file. Windows shows a warning first, because the installer isn't code-signed yet.

  3. Click More info, then Run anyway

    That's all the warning asks. Further down this page is why it appears, and how to check the file.

  4. Sign in with your email

    We email you a six-digit code; there is no password. Your 30-day Pro trial starts then, with no card.

Check the file is ours.

Every installer's SHA-256 is published. If the one Windows computes for your copy matches, you have the file we built.

1. In PowerShell, in your Downloads folder, run

Get-FileHash .\Stayaway_0.1.7_x64-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256

2. It should print this hash (in capitals; case does not matter)

If the two differ, do not run the file. Download it again from this page, and write to us if it still does not match.

Why Windows warns you.

Stayaway is not yet signed with a code-signing certificate, so Windows does not recognise the publisher. When you run the installer, SmartScreen says “Windows protected your PC”. To continue, click More info, then Run anyway.

Some antivirus software may also flag it. Stayaway simulates mouse and keyboard activity and registers global shortcuts, which is behaviour antivirus engines watch for. We think that warning is reasonable of them, and we would rather tell you here than have it surprise you.

We are working towards a signed build. Until then, the checksum above is how you can tell the file is the one we published.
