Install it, then claim your name

  1. WindowsThe Windows build is code-signed, so the old "unknown publisher" alarm is gone. A brand-new download may briefly show a milder "not commonly downloaded" note while Windows builds reputation; that fades as more people install, and it isn't a sign anything's wrong. If you see it, click More info, then Run anyway.
  2. macOSThe macOS builds are an unsigned preview. Right-click the app and choose Open.
  3. LinuxInstall the .deb package, or make the AppImage executable with chmod +x and run it.

Verify your download (SHA-256)

Prefer to be sure? Check the file's fingerprint. In Windows PowerShell: Get-FileHash file.exe. On macOS or Linux: shasum -a 256 file. The value must match:

PhonesNot supported: the installers will not run on a phone
On a phone?

Two things that work on a phone

The Browser is a desktop application. On a phone you can still:

Use FreeholdIP in this browser

Claim a name, hold credentials, show them, no install.

Open

Check a credential

The independent verifier: runs entirely on your phone.

Open
Keep your own verifier

A credential is only as good as your ability to check it

The checker is one self-contained HTML file, addressed by its own fingerprint. Any copy that hashes to this is the real thing, whoever handed it to you. Save it and it keeps working whether or not FreeholdIP is still here.

Fingerprint (IPFS CID) of the current verifier:

QmT35KYanRCj6v1vu2LnuiBRuoRdyGZzfPVrh8gnJXMkeB

Open it from a public gateway, nothing of ours involved:

https://bafybeicfzhhm3wj7w4fcilfvh3ec7bf567wbnorxgwm4rghm6p624g7n3a.ipfs.dweb.link/

Or fetch an exact copy to keep:

ipfs get QmT35KYanRCj6v1vu2LnuiBRuoRdyGZzfPVrh8gnJXMkeB

Some gateways add a banner to HTML they serve, so a copy saved from a gateway may not match the fingerprint. That is fine for using it and wrong for archiving it. The exact-bytes method and the full source are at github.com/smallpaul60/freeholdip-verifier, which rebuilds the file above byte-for-byte. We also serve a copy at /independent-verifier for convenience. The fingerprint is the address that outlives us.
