First-launch notes & iOS

macOS: pick the Apple Silicon (M1+) or Intel build above. It isn't notarized, so right-click the app → Open → Open the first time to get past Gatekeeper.

Windows (direct): an installable MSIX outside the Store — pick x64 for a regular PC, ARM for an ARM-based Windows PC (e.g. Surface Pro X). It's signed with our own certificate rather than a paid one, so Windows may block the install as untrusted; the Microsoft Store version above installs without that hassle.

Linux: a self-contained binary — chmod +x it, then run.

Android: one universal APK — works on Android 7.0+ (both older 32-bit and modern 64-bit devices), no need to pick a variant. Download it, then allow "install unknown apps" for your browser/file manager when prompted.

iOS: no App Store build needed — open the web version in Safari, then Share → Add to Home Screen to install it like an app.

macOS & Linux currently ship as a terminal build (same story and choices, text interface) — a native graphical version is in the works. Download the binary for your CPU, then in Terminal: chmod +x Echoes-macos-arm64 && ./Echoes-macos-arm64. On macOS it isn't notarized, so right-click → Open the first time, or run xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Echoes-macos-arm64 first.

Android is a sideload APK — enable "Install unknown apps" for your browser/file manager, then open the downloaded file.

About the studio

Solo Apps Studio is one developer, building complete software end to end — from the first line of code to the store listing or the enterprise pitch. That spans cozy consumer apps, arcade and narrative games, and AI-powered business software like ApprovalIQ. The goal is simple — small, polished, honest software, with no dark patterns and offline-friendly wherever it can be.

Some titles are still finding their final home. Apple builds ship as direct, self-signed installs for now (a paid Apple Developer account is on the roadmap), and a few games are mid-build. Everything here is made by hand.
