Updates

The desktop app auto-checks for updates on launch. Updates are signed with the Basalt updater key; tampered updates are rejected.

Code signing

  • macOS: signed with Apple Developer ID, notarized via Apple’s notary service.
  • Linux: unsigned (.deb/.rpm/.AppImage); verify against the published BLAKE3 hash.
  • Windows: signed when TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY is available; SmartScreen may flag until our cert builds reputation.
