Download & Install
Prebuilt packages are published on GitHub Releases. Asset names may vary by version — always use the files listed on the latest Release page.
Latest release: latest · Releases page
Android
Recommended: Google Play
Install from Google Play for automatic updates.
Alternative: Release APK
- Open Latest Release.
- Download the Android APK (typical name:
navo-{version}+{build}-arm64-v8a-release.apk). - On your device, allow installation from unknown sources if prompted, then open the APK.
Requirements: Android 7.0 (API 24) or newer (exact minimum may change; check the Release notes).
Windows
- Open Latest Release.
- Download the Windows installer when published (typical name:
navo-{version}-windows-*.exe). - Run the installer. If Windows SmartScreen appears, choose More info → Run anyway (the build is not yet widely attested).
- Launch Navo from the Start menu.
Requirements: Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
macOS
- Open Latest Release.
- Download the macOS package (typical name:
navo-{version}+{build}-macos-adhoc.dmg). - Open the DMG and drag Navo to Applications.
- On first launch, if macOS says the app cannot be verified:
- Open System Settings → Privacy & Security
- Find the blocked app notice and click Open Anyway
- Or: right-click the app → Open → confirm
Requirements: macOS 12 or newer. Prefer the universal build when available (Apple Silicon and Intel).
iOS (coming soon)
iOS is not on the App Store yet. An Apple Developer account is in progress.
- No public TestFlight or sideload package for end users
- After launch, distribution will be via the App Store
- Star NavoMessenger/Navo or watch Releases for updates
Developers who need to compile for iOS (Apple Developer Program required): see Build from source.
Verify downloads (optional)
If a Release provides checksums (for example SHA256SUMS or hashes in the release body):
# macOS / Linux
shasum -a 256 Navo-*-android-universal.apk
# Windows (PowerShell)
Get-FileHash .\Navo-*-windows-x64-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256
Compare the output with the value published on the Release page.
