How to get it
- Hit Download for Windows. You get
Yapper-Setup.exe. - Open it from your Downloads.
- If a blue "Windows protected your PC" box pops up, click More info, then Run anyway. That shows up for every new app without a paid certificate.
- It installs by itself in a few seconds and opens. Log in like on the website.
- Done. Yapper is in your Start menu and tray, and updates itself.
- Hit Download for Linux. You get
Yapper-Setup.AppImage. - Make it runnable: right-click it, Properties, tick Allow executing as program. Or run
chmod +x Yapper-Setup.AppImage - Double-click it. No install, no root.
- Won't open? Install FUSE:
sudo apt install libfuse2(on Ubuntu 24.04 it'slibfuse2t64).
On a Mac or a phone? There's no app for those yet, just use yapper.website in your browser. On a phone, "Add to Home Screen" gives you an icon too.
Questions
Is it safe? Windows says it's unrecognised.
That warning appears for any new app without a paid code-signing certificate. The installer is built automatically from the Yapper source, and that exact build is what you download here. It goes away as more people install it, or once we buy a certificate.
What does it send?
The same things the website does, plus the name of a game you're playing while it runs (you can turn that off in Settings → Activity). Nothing else from your computer.
Does it update by itself?
Yes. It checks on start and every few hours, downloads quietly, and installs when you quit.
Phone?
Open yapper.website in your phone browser and use "Add to Home Screen". You get an icon and full-screen Yapper.
