Know exactly what happens.

Free for 14 days. Runs on your machine, not in someone else's cloud. Everything you track stays in one encrypted file on your computer. Tracking needs no AI and no internet; AI chat is optional and uses your own Anthropic or OpenAI key. macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows 10/11 (64-bit).

Windows 10/11 x64 and macOS. Tracking works with no AI; chat is optional and uses your own key.

macOS

First-launch install

  1. Download VAND, open the DMG, and drag VAND into Applications.
  2. Open VAND from Applications.
  3. If macOS says it can't be opened, go to System Settings, Privacy & Security, and click Open Anyway.
  4. It opens normally every time after. (Stuck? The Terminal command below clears the block.)

On first launch macOS says it can't verify VAND, because it's unsigned. Click Open Anyway in System Settings, Privacy & Security. If that button never appears, run this once in Terminal, then open VAND:

Windows

First-launch install

  1. Download VAND.
  2. Open the installer.
  3. Click More info.
  4. Click Run anyway.

SmartScreen flags any installer that isn't signed with a paid EV certificate. The More info → Run anyway path is a one-time prompt.

Some newer Windows 11 PCs also run Smart App Control, which is stricter than SmartScreen and can block unsigned apps outright — with no “run anyway”. If VAND won't open at all, that's why. Turning it off is permanent, so we don't suggest it; it's the honest trade-off of shipping VAND unsigned today.

Why the warning

VAND is unsigned today.

Code-signing costs money before it earns trust, so the first sales will fund it. Until then, every installer is published on GitHub with a SHA-256 digest you can verify. Windows may show a one-time SmartScreen prompt; macOS may require approval in Privacy & Security. Your personal data stays on your device either way.
