Get INVL Hub

The desktop app is free and always will be. It runs on one computer in your workplace and your counters find it over Wi-Fi.

No account, no licence key, no telemetry. The app never contacts us; check your firewall log if you like.
Every build 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

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 agree to the license

The license agreement appears before anything mounts; click Agree, then drag INVL Hub to the Applications folder and open it from there.

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," that's not a problem with the file: it's a stray security flag from the download. Email invlmanagement@gmail.com and we will get you going in a couple of minutes.

Windows

Run the setup file and click through SmartScreen

On the blue "Windows protected your PC" box: More info → Run anyway.

Accept the license and install

Read the license agreement, choose I accept the agreement, then Next → Install → Finish. No administrator password is needed, and the installer adds a Start Menu entry and an uninstaller.

Step 2

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 networks → Allow 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.
