No account, no licence key, no telemetry. The app never contacts us; check your firewall log if you like.
Every build and its checksum is published on GitHub, where you can see exactly what was built and when.

On an Intel Mac? An Apple-silicon app will not start on an Intel machine, so check which one you have under Apple menu → About This Mac. If the Intel download above is greyed out, that release didn't include an Intel build. Email invlmanagement@gmail.com and we will build you one.

Step 1

Check the download is intact

INVL Hub isn't distributed through the Mac App Store or the Microsoft Store, so the SHA-256 hash on each download above is the integrity check you have. Compare it against your copy. If it doesn't match, delete the file and download again. Don't install it.

macOS, in Terminal:

shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/INVLHub-*.dmg

Windows, in PowerShell:

Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 "$HOME\Downloads\INVLHub-windows-x64.zip"

Step 2

Install it

You will see a security warning the first time you open it. That's expected. Your computer doesn't recognise the publisher yet, so the steps below tell it to trust the app. You only do this once.

macOS

Open the .dmg and drag it to Applications

Then open your Applications folder and double-click INVL Hub.

macOS blocks it: click Done

The message reads something like "Apple could not verify INVL Hub is free of malware."

Open System Settings → Privacy & Security

Scroll to the Security section. You'll see "INVL Hub was blocked to protect your Mac." Click Open Anyway, confirm with Touch ID or your password, then click Open.

If there's no Open Anyway button and macOS says the app is "damaged," the download was quarantined. That's not a problem with the file. Run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/INVL\ Hub.app and open it normally.

Windows

Unblock the .zip before extracting

Right-click the downloaded file → Properties → tick UnblockOK. This saves you a warning on every file inside.

Extract it

Right-click → Extract All… and pick a location, e.g. C:\Program Files\INVLHub.

Run INVLHub.exe and click through SmartScreen

On the blue "Windows protected your PC" box: More infoRun anyway.

Step 3

Allow it through the firewall

The first time the app runs, your computer asks whether to allow incoming network connections. On macOS click Allow; on Windows tick Private networksAllow access.

If you deny this, your counters will never reach the hub. The app will look fine (the dashboard opens and works normally) but every device will sit there silently failing to connect. To fix it later: macOS System Settings → Network → Firewall → Options; Windows Windows Security → Firewall & network protection → Allow an app through firewall.

Next: set up your first counter →

Release notes

Every release, with its checksums, is published on GitHub.

Where your data lives. Counts are stored on your own computer and survive re-installing the app: ~/Library/Application Support/INVLHub/ on macOS, %APPDATA%\INVLHub\ on Windows.
