Download
One archive, both platforms. Unzip it anywhere — nothing is written until you choose what to do, and none of it needs administrator rights.
Alpha builds go out by invitation
While WorkCtx is alpha, builds are handed out rather than published, each with its SHA-256. If you would like one, email contact@sbc.software. The rest of this page is for the build you were given.
Windows will warn you first
These binaries are not yet code-signed, so Windows shows “Windows protected your PC”. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
That warning is doing its job. An unsigned installer that asks for a master password is exactly what you should be suspicious of — which is why the hash is published, and why you should check it.
Verify what you got
Hash the file and compare it with the SHA-256 above. Thirty seconds, and the only check available until the binaries are signed.
# Windows (PowerShell or cmd) certutil -hashfile wctx-0.1.0.zip SHA256 # Linux sha256sum wctx-0.1.0.zip
Installing
Unzip, then double-click setup.cmd.
Unzip, then ./setup.sh — or right-click it and choose Run as a Program. A double click opens a script in the editor instead of running it; that is GNOME’s behaviour, not a fault in the file.
The installer can install on this machine, write a USB drive, or remove an installation. Re-running it over an existing install is an in-place upgrade that keeps your vault, database and profiles. There is no automatic updater — every new build is a fresh archive.
Alpha software. Read what it does not protect against before you put a client’s credentials in it.
