Why Antivirus May Flag This App

Some antivirus software may flag this application because:

• It's not signed with a paid code signing certificate (~$300/year)
• Electron apps are sometimes flagged heuristically
• New applications lack "reputation"

This is a false positive. You can:

1. Build from source yourself (see below)
2. Check the code - it's all open source
3. Monitor network traffic - zero external connections
