What is Savepoint?
Savepoint is a small Windows utility that helps you carry your work context from one shift to the next.
At the end of your working day, Savepoint appears and asks what you would want to know tomorrow. You write a few short lines: what you were in the middle of, who you are waiting on, what you owe someone. The next working day, Savepoint appears again and hands those notes straight back to you.
That is the whole idea. Instead of spending the first twenty minutes of a shift reconstructing where you were, you read four lines you wrote yourself.
Savepoint sits quietly in the system tray and speaks up twice a day. It does not need an account, and it does not send your notes anywhere.
What Savepoint is not
Savepoint is not a project-management or task-management platform, and it is not trying to become one.
There are no projects, folders, boards, tags, priorities, due dates, story points, assignees, or workflows. You cannot assign an item to a colleague or track it to completion across a team.
Items in a Savepoint are context to restore, not tasks to manage. If your team needs to track work formally, keep doing that in whatever system you already use. Savepoint is the handful of notes you would otherwise scribble on a sticky note before going home.
Getting Started
Supported platform
Savepoint is a Windows desktop application.
- Windows 11, 64-bit is currently tested and supported. Savepoint is also expected to work on current 64-bit Windows 10 systems with Microsoft Edge WebView2, but Windows 10 has not yet been part of our Alpha test matrix.
- Savepoint uses the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime. This is already present on Windows 11 and on most up-to-date Windows 10 machines. If it is missing, the installer downloads and installs it for you, which requires an internet connection during installation only.
- No administrator rights are needed.
- There is no macOS or Linux version.
Installing
- Run Savepoint-0.1.0-alpha-Setup.exe.
- Windows may show a security warning, because this early release is not yet digitally signed. See Windows Security Notice near the end of this guide.
- Savepoint installs for your Windows account only, into your own user folder. It does not modify the machine for other users.
- The installer offers to create a desktop shortcut. A Start Menu entry is always created.
If Savepoint is already running when you start the installer, close it first (see System Tray), or the installer will tell you it is running.
First launch
The first time Savepoint opens, it asks for a few details on a single screen.
Your name. Used only to greet you on the home screen. It stays on this computer.
Shift starts and Shift ends. Your normal working hours, defaulting to 08:00 and 17:00. These two times drive everything else: when reminders appear, and when Recently Used Apps is allowed to observe anything. You can change them later in Settings at any time.
Savepoint currently supports shifts that begin and end on the same calendar day. Overnight shifts that run past midnight are not supported yet, and reminders will not fire for them.
Remember recently used apps. A switch, on by default, that you can turn off right there before you begin. See Recently Used Apps and Privacy below.
Press Start using Savepoint and you are set up.
Reminder configuration
You do not configure reminder times directly. Reminders are derived from your shift hours, so there is only ever one place to change them:
- the start-of-shift reminder arrives 10 minutes after your shift start;
- the end-of-day reminder arrives 30 minutes before your shift end.
After setup, Settings lets you turn each reminder on or off independently, pause them, and switch on the optional Weekly Wrap-Up.
Start Savepoint when I sign in
Savepoint switches this on for you when you finish setup, because reminders can only reach you if Savepoint is running.
When Windows starts it this way, Savepoint starts hidden in the system tray. No window appears and nothing interrupts you. It simply waits until a reminder is due.
You can turn this off at any time in Settings → Startup, using the Start Savepoint when I sign in switch. If you turn it off, that choice is respected permanently; Savepoint will not quietly switch it back on.
The Daily Savepoint Flow
The whole product is two moments a day.
End of shift
Thirty minutes before your shift ends, Savepoint appears on its own, opened to today's Savepoint, and asks whether there is anything to save for tomorrow.
You add a few short items (whatever you would not want to reconstruct tomorrow) and close the window. That is it.
Next working day
Ten minutes after your shift starts, Savepoint appears again, opened directly to what you saved last time. The heading tells you which day it came from.
You read through it, mark what is finished as Done, and carry anything still live into today's Savepoint. Then you get on with your day.
The start-of-shift reminder only appears when there is actually something waiting for you. If your last Savepoint has nothing unresolved in it, Savepoint stays quiet rather than opening a window to tell you there is nothing to see.
Creating and Editing a Savepoint
Open Savepoint from the tray and choose Create Savepoint (or Edit Savepoint if you already started one today). The end-of-day reminder takes you to the same place.
Each thing you record is an item with a type, a short title, and optional extra detail.
Item types
| Type | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Continue | Work in progress you will pick back up. Where you stopped, what to try next. |
| Follow Up | Something you owe someone. |
| Waiting On | Something blocked until someone else responds. |
| Meeting | Something scheduled that you should not walk into cold. |
| Note | Context that would simply be annoying to reconstruct. |
The fast path is: pick a type, type one sentence, press Enter. The type stays selected between items, so recording four similar things is quick.
You can edit an item's type, title and detail later, or remove it.
One Savepoint per day
There is only ever one Savepoint you can edit: today's.
If you start a Savepoint in the morning, add to it at lunchtime, and come back when the end-of-day reminder appears, all of that goes into the same Savepoint. Reopening it adds to it: it does not archive it, replace it, or start a second one for the day.
This is deliberate. You should never end up with three half-finished Savepoints for the same Tuesday.
Saving a Savepoint you have already saved does nothing, so there is no harm in pressing the button again.
Resuming Work
The Resume screen shows the most recent Savepoint from an earlier day. It never shows today's. Today's is the one you are still building.
The heading names the day the content came from, so you always know whether you are looking at yesterday, or at last Thursday because you had two days off.
For each item you get:
Done. You have finished it, or it no longer matters. It is marked resolved and stops following you around. If you press it by mistake, Undo puts it back.
Carry Forward. The item is still live, so copy it into today's Savepoint. For Waiting On items this button reads Still Waiting, because that is what it actually means.
Carrying an item forward is safe to press twice. An item can only ever have one successor, so you cannot accidentally end up with duplicates.
How older unresolved work behaves
An item you carry forward becomes part of today's Savepoint, and if it is still unresolved tomorrow you can carry it forward again. This is how a long-running Waiting On rides along day after day without ever duplicating itself.
Anything you neither resolve nor carry forward simply stays in the Savepoint where you wrote it. It is still in your History, and if it is from the past week it will appear in the Weekly Wrap-Up. Savepoint does not delete your items or nag you about them.
Resume always shows one previous day's Savepoint (the newest one before today) rather than merging everything you have ever left open.
History
Savepoint keeps a simple history of your past Savepoints.
Open it from History in the title bar, next to Home and Settings. Each row is one Savepoint, newest first, showing its date and how many items it holds. Click a row to expand it and read its items.
History is read-only: it is there to answer "what was I doing last Tuesday?", not to edit the past. Opening History does not change or reactivate old items. It holds your most recent 60 Savepoints.
Reminder Schedule
Both reminders come from your configured shift hours.
| Reminder | When it arrives |
|---|---|
| Start of shift | 10 minutes after your shift start |
| End of day | 30 minutes before your shift end |
Savepoint runs quietly in the system tray all day. When a reminder becomes due, the Savepoint window appears by itself, already on the right screen: Resume in the morning, today's Savepoint at the end of the day. A Windows notification follows a second or two later as a secondary signal, useful if you are heads-down in another application.
A few things worth knowing:
- Each reminder appears once per day. If you close the window, Savepoint will not reopen it and pester you.
- If your computer was asleep, Savepoint notices when it wakes. The start-of-shift reminder can still arrive up to two hours after it was due; the end-of-day reminder can arrive any time up to your shift end. Past that, it is skipped for the day rather than appearing at a useless moment.
- A window you already have open is left where it is. The reminder just brings it to the front rather than moving or resizing something you are looking at.
- The start-of-shift reminder only fires when there is something to resume.
Occasionally Windows will not allow a background program to jump in front of whatever you are doing (during a full-screen presentation, for example). When that happens the Savepoint window is still opened and waiting for you, and the notification is your second signal.
Snooze, Dismiss and Pause
Installing Savepoint does not mean agreeing to be interrupted by it. These controls are yours.
Snooze and Dismiss
When a reminder opens Savepoint, a quiet Later button appears next to Back. It opens a small menu:
| Option | Available on |
|---|---|
| Snooze 10 minutes | every reminder |
| Snooze 30 minutes | every reminder |
| Remind me at shift end | the end-of-day reminder only |
| Dismiss for today | the start-of-shift and end-of-day reminders |
| Dismiss this week | the Weekly Wrap-Up |
Choosing any of them hides the window, so "not now" actually gets Savepoint out of your way.
The Later button only appears when a reminder opened the screen. If you navigated to Resume yourself, there is nothing to defer.
Pause
In Settings → Pause reminders you can silence reminders for a while:
- 1 hour
- Until tomorrow
- Until I turn them back on
While paused, Savepoint keeps running, the tray still works, and you can create and read Savepoints normally. It simply stays silent.
So that a pause can never quietly become a permanent silence you forget about, the home screen says "Reminders are paused." with a Resume reminders button right beside it.
The difference between the three
| What it affects | How long it lasts | |
|---|---|---|
| Snooze | One reminder, today | Comes back in 10 or 30 minutes, or at shift end |
| Dismiss | One reminder, today only | Gone for today; tomorrow is unaffected |
| Pause | All reminders | Until the hour is up, until tomorrow, or until you turn them back on |
The key distinctions:
- Snooze means it comes back. It is the same reminder returning, not a new one, so your reminder history never fills up with duplicates. Snoozing at 4:50 PM for 30 minutes brings it back at 5:20 PM even if your shift has technically ended, because you asked for it back.
- Dismiss means it does not come back today. It affects that one reminder, on that one day. It does not disable anything, change your hours, or touch your Savepoints. Tomorrow's reminder arrives as normal.
- Pause silences everything at once, for a period you choose. Lifting a pause does not dump a backlog of missed reminders on you; only reminders that are still within their normal window can arrive.
Pausing does not affect Recently Used Apps, which has its own separate switch.
If you would rather not have a particular reminder at all, Settings → Reminders has independent switches for the Morning reminder and the End-of-day reminder. A reminder that is switched off never appears and is never recorded.
Weekly Wrap-Up
The Weekly Wrap-Up is optional and off by default. Nothing appears unless you switch it on in Settings → Weekly Wrap-Up.
Once enabled, you choose which weekday it arrives on (Friday is offered first). It arrives at the same time as your end-of-day reminder (30 minutes before your shift ends), so there is no second time to configure.
What it shows
The Wrap-Up gathers items from the last 7 calendar days, including today, grouped by day, oldest first, so it reads as a walk back through your week.
For each item you get:
- Done. Resolve it. This marks the real item resolved, exactly as it would be on the Resume screen.
- Keep. Leave it alone. This changes nothing at all; it only clears the row from view for this visit, so you can work through the list.
- Carry Forward. Copy it into today's Savepoint. Offered only where it is meaningful: for an unresolved item that is not already in today's Savepoint.
At the top you get three plain numbers, for example 7 items · 4 done · 3 open. That is how much is left to look at, and nothing more.
Only one window
On your Wrap-Up day, the end-of-day reminder and the Wrap-Up come due in the same minute. Savepoint opens once, not twice.
The window goes to today's Savepoint first, because finishing today's notes is the immediate job. A single line, "Your Weekly Wrap-Up is ready." with an Open button, tells you the Wrap-Up is waiting, and it stays available all day, so you can get to it when you are ready. When you finish today's Savepoint, the Wrap-Up is offered again beside Done.
If you have end-of-day reminders switched off but the Wrap-Up switched on, the Wrap-Up simply arrives on its own.
The Wrap-Up can be snoozed and dismissed like any other reminder, using the Later menu. Its dismiss option reads Dismiss this week.
What it is for
The Weekly Wrap-Up is for continuity and cleanup: closing out loose ends. It is not a productivity report, and it is deliberately not built to become one. It contains no graphs, no streaks, no percentages, no hours worked, no week-on-week comparison, no rankings, and nothing that could be handed to a manager as a measure of you. The only numbers are how many items are left for you to look at.
Recently Used Apps
Recently Used Apps is optional. You choose during setup, and you can change it at any time in Settings → Recent work context using the Remember recently used apps switch.
When it is on, Savepoint notices which applications you have been working in and offers them as small buttons on the Create/Edit Savepoint screen.
Clicking one is a shortcut, not a record. It selects the Continue item type, attaches the application's name to the item as context, and puts your cursor in the title box, so the flow stays: click the app, type one sentence, press Enter. You are still writing the item yourself, and you can clear the app name if you do not want it.
What it observes, and when
- Savepoint only observes applications during your configured work hours. Outside those hours it records nothing at all.
- It shows the applications you were in recently (roughly the last hour and a half) and shows at most six.
- Observations are short-lived and are cleared out automatically after about a day and a half. This is work continuity, not a log of your week.
- Savepoint excludes itself, and excludes Windows' own background shell components. Real applications like File Explorer, Settings and Task Manager are kept.
- The list refreshes while the screen is open, so an application you switched to a moment ago appears without restarting anything.
Turning it off and on again
Turning it off stops observation immediately and deletes what has already been observed. Nothing is kept dormant in the background.
Turning it back on starts collecting again from that moment forward, during your scheduled hours only. The earlier observations do not come back: they were deleted, not hidden. Savepoint tells you this on screen when you re-enable it, so you are not left waiting for a list that will never reappear.
Why the list might be empty
Savepoint always explains an empty list rather than showing a blank space:
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| "Recently used apps are off. You can turn it on in Settings." | The feature is switched off. |
| "Recent apps are remembered during your scheduled work hours, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM." | It is on, but the current time is outside your configured hours. |
| "Use another app for a moment and it will appear here." | It is on and within your hours, but nothing has been observed yet. |
One further reason a specific app may not appear: applications installed from the Microsoft Store do not show up. Their windows belong to a shared Windows host process that Savepoint deliberately ignores. Ordinary desktop applications work normally.
Privacy
Savepoint is a memory aid. It is not monitoring software, and it is not built to be turned into monitoring software.
What Savepoint does not record
Savepoint does not record:
- window titles
- keystrokes
- screenshots
- clipboard contents
- browser URLs or browsing history
- document contents or file names
- email subjects or email content
- mouse activity
- productivity scores
- employee rankings or comparisons
- remote usage telemetry of any kind
What Recently Used Apps actually stores
When Recently Used Apps is switched on, and only during your configured work hours, Savepoint stores for each application:
- the application's program name (for example,
excel.exe) - its friendly display name (for example,
Microsoft Excel) - where the program is located on this computer, used internally to work out its name (never shown in the app)
- when it was first seen
- when it was last seen
That is the complete list.
There are no durations, no counts, no session lengths, and no totals: nothing that would let anyone work out how long you spent in an application, or compare one day to another. One application appears once, with a timestamp that updates.
Where your data lives
Savepoint currently keeps all of its work data locally, on this Windows computer. It has no accounts, no sign-in, no cloud sync, and no server component. Your Savepoints, your items, your settings and your Recently Used Apps observations are stored in your own Windows user profile at:
%APPDATA%\com.savepoint.desktop
Savepoint makes no network connections of its own. The only time it reaches the internet is when you click the Documentation or Website link in the About panel, which opens the page in your normal web browser.
If you are considering Savepoint for a team: it produces no reports, has no administrator console, and offers nothing for a manager to read. There are also no administrator-enforced settings. Every control described in this guide belongs to the person using the computer.
System Tray
Savepoint lives in the Windows system tray, near the clock.
Clicking X hides Savepoint. It does not quit it. The program keeps running in the tray and your reminders keep working. This is intentional: Savepoint has to be running to be able to appear when a reminder is due.
Left-click the tray icon to bring Savepoint back. It shows, unminimizes and focuses the window you already had. It never opens a second one.
Right-click the tray icon for a small menu:
- Open Savepoint does the same as left-clicking.
- Quit genuinely exits the program.
When you Quit, reminders stop. Savepoint is no longer running, so it cannot appear at the end of your shift or the start of the next one. Reminders resume once Savepoint starts again: the next time you sign in to Windows, if Start Savepoint when I sign in is on, or whenever you launch it yourself from the Start Menu.
Quitting is the clean way to close Savepoint. It saves your work to disk properly on the way out.
The window itself
Savepoint is a small utility window, closer to Sticky Notes or Calculator than to a full-size application. It opens compact by default, and it is always resizable. Drag it to whatever size suits you and Savepoint will remember it.
When a reminder opens Savepoint, it appears in the lower-right corner of the monitor you are working on, clear of the taskbar.
Weekly and Reminder Settings
Everything in Settings is yours to change. Installing Savepoint does not mean agreeing to be interrupted by it, and there are no administrator-enforced settings: nobody can lock these controls from elsewhere.
| Settings section | What you control |
|---|---|
| Profile | Your display name, and your shift start and end times. Changing your hours moves both reminders. |
| Reminders | Independent switches for the Morning reminder and the End-of-day reminder. Each shows the time it will arrive. |
| Pause reminders | Silence all reminders for 1 hour, Until tomorrow, or Until I turn them back on. |
| Weekly Wrap-Up | Switch it on or off, and pick the weekday. Off unless you ask for it. |
| Startup | Start Savepoint when I sign in. |
| Recent work context | Remember recently used apps. Has its own switch and is not affected by pausing reminders. |
| About | The tagline, attribution, Documentation and Website links, and the version number. |
Changes to your profile take effect when you press Save changes. The switches apply as soon as you flip them.
To sum up what you can turn off: either reminder individually, all reminders temporarily, the Weekly Wrap-Up entirely, Recently Used Apps entirely, and starting with Windows. You can also snooze or dismiss any single reminder on the day.
Troubleshooting
Savepoint didn't appear
Work through these in order:
- Is Savepoint running? Look for the cassette icon in the system tray, near the clock. You may need to click the arrow to show hidden icons. If it is not there, Savepoint is not running and cannot remind you. Start it from the Start Menu.
- Are reminders paused? Open Savepoint. If the home screen says "Reminders are paused.", click Resume reminders beside it.
- Is that reminder switched off? Check Settings → Reminders.
- Did you dismiss it earlier today? Dismissing closes a reminder out for the rest of the day. Tomorrow's arrives normally.
- Are your hours right? Check Settings → Profile. Reminders are worked out from your shift times: 10 minutes after the start, 30 minutes before the end.
- Is it the start-of-shift reminder, with nothing to resume? That reminder deliberately stays quiet when your last Savepoint has nothing unresolved in it.
- Was the machine asleep for a long time? A missed reminder is skipped rather than delivered hours late. The start-of-shift reminder can still arrive up to two hours after it was due; the end-of-day one up to your shift end.
- Do your hours run past midnight? Overnight shifts are not supported yet, and reminders will not fire for them.
I don't see Recently Used Apps
The Create/Edit Savepoint screen always explains why the section is empty. Read the line it shows:
- "Recently used apps are off." Turn it on in Settings → Recent work context.
- "Recent apps are remembered during your scheduled work hours…" It is on, but the clock is currently outside your configured hours. Nothing is observed outside them, by design.
- "Use another app for a moment and it will appear here." It is on and within your hours, but nothing has been seen yet. Switch to another application for a moment; Savepoint checks periodically rather than instantly, so allow a few seconds.
If one specific application never appears, it may be a Microsoft Store app. Those are not shown. Savepoint also never lists itself.
If you recently switched the feature off and back on, the older entries are gone for good. Re-enabling starts a fresh collection from that moment.
Savepoint disappeared when I clicked X
That is expected. X hides Savepoint; it does not close it. Savepoint is still running in the system tray so it can reach you when a reminder is due.
Click the tray icon near the clock to bring it back, or right-click it and choose Open Savepoint. Your work is not lost.
To close Savepoint properly, right-click the tray icon and choose Quit.
I quit Savepoint and reminders stopped
That is expected too. Quit fully exits the program, and a program that is not running cannot show you a reminder.
Start Savepoint again from the Start Menu and reminders resume immediately. If Start Savepoint when I sign in is on (Settings → Startup), it will also come back on its own the next time you sign in to Windows.
My reminder was snoozed
Snoozing hides the window and brings the same reminder back later: after 10 or 30 minutes, or at your shift end if you chose that.
If you did not mean to snooze it, you do not have to wait: open Savepoint from the tray and go to the screen you wanted. Everything is available manually at any time. The snoozed reminder will still arrive when its time comes.
A snooze applies to that reminder on that day only.
Windows notification did not appear
The Windows notification is a secondary signal. The Savepoint window appearing is the reminder itself, and the notification follows a second or two behind, so if the window opened, the reminder worked.
If notifications never appear:
- Open Windows Settings → System → Notifications and check that notifications are on for Savepoint.
- Check that Focus assist / Do not disturb is not suppressing them.
- Notifications rely on Savepoint having been installed properly. If you are running a copy of the program from somewhere other than its installed location, Windows may not show them.
Savepoint opened on another monitor, or at the wrong size
Savepoint remembers the size and position you last chose for yourself, and restores it when you open it manually.
A reminder works differently on purpose: it opens Savepoint compact, in the lower-right corner of the monitor in use, so it behaves like a notification rather than reopening a large window across your work.
On a multi-monitor desk, the very first reminder after signing in may appear on your primary display rather than the one you are using, because Savepoint has not been shown anywhere yet. Later reminders follow the monitor you are on.
To reset the remembered size, drag the window to the size you want and then hide it with X; that size is what Savepoint will use next time. Maximizing is not remembered as a size, so maximizing once will not make every later reminder open full-screen.
Savepoint does not start with Windows
- Open Settings → Startup and check Start Savepoint when I sign in. If it is off, turn it on.
- If it is already on, check Windows itself: open Task Manager → Startup apps and make sure Savepoint is not set to Disabled there. Windows lets you disable a startup program independently, and Savepoint deliberately respects that rather than overriding your choice.
- If Savepoint has been moved or reinstalled to a different location, launch it once from the Start Menu. It corrects its own startup entry when it runs.
Remember that Savepoint starts hidden in the tray at sign-in. No window appearing is the expected behaviour. Check the tray icon rather than the taskbar.
Installing Updates
You can install a newer version straight over your existing installation. There is no need to uninstall first.
- Close Savepoint properly first: right-click the tray icon and choose Quit. If Savepoint is running, the installer will tell you.
- Run the new installer.
- If it detects the existing version, choose the option to install over it.
Your data is intended to remain intact across an update. Your Savepoints, items, history, settings, reminder preferences and remembered window size all carry over. An update replaces the program, not your notes.
An update also leaves your existing installation location, Start Menu entry and startup setting as they were, so you should not end up with two copies of Savepoint listed in Windows.
Uninstalling
Uninstall Savepoint the normal Windows way: Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Savepoint → Uninstall.
Uninstalling the program and deleting your data are two different things
By default, uninstalling Savepoint removes the program but leaves your saved work in place. Your Savepoints and settings stay on the computer, so if you reinstall Savepoint later, everything you wrote is still there.
The uninstaller offers a checkbox labelled "Delete the application data".
- Leave it unticked (the default): the program is removed, your Savepoints are kept.
- Tick it: your Savepoint data folder is deleted along with the program. This permanently removes every Savepoint and item you have written, and cannot be undone.
If you are uninstalling temporarily, or moving to a different version, leave the box unticked.
Removing your data separately
There is no "delete my data" button inside Savepoint itself. If you want to remove your saved work without using the uninstaller checkbox, close Savepoint from the tray with Quit and then delete this folder yourself:
%APPDATA%\com.savepoint.desktop
Paste that path into the File Explorer address bar to find it. Deleting it resets Savepoint to a first-run state: the next launch will ask for your name and hours again. Copy the folder somewhere safe first if you might want your notes back.
Uninstalling also removes Savepoint's Windows startup entry, so it will not try to launch after it is gone.
Version
Current release: Savepoint 0.1.0 Alpha
You can confirm the version you are running in Settings → About, which shows Version 0.1.0 beneath the Documentation and Website links.
What "Alpha" means
An alpha is an early release, published for testing and feedback rather than as a finished product.
In practice:
- The features described in this guide work and have been tested, but they have not yet been used by many people on many different machines.
- You may find rough edges, and behaviour may change in later versions in response to feedback.
- The binaries are not yet digitally signed (see the next section).
- Please keep your own backup habits for anything genuinely important. Savepoint is designed to hold short-lived working notes, not to be your system of record.
Feedback at this stage is genuinely useful, and is the reason this release exists.
Windows Security Notice
The Savepoint 0.1 Alpha files are not digitally signed. This release is intended for internal and testing distribution.
Because the files carry no code-signing certificate, Windows has no publisher identity to check them against. When you run the installer, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may show a warning such as "Windows protected your PC", naming the publisher as Unknown or Unrecognised.
This warning is expected for an unsigned Alpha build. It reflects that Windows cannot verify a signed publisher for the file; by itself, it does not indicate that Windows detected malicious software.
How to proceed safely:
- Only install Savepoint from a copy supplied directly by AliNQuality, or from the official AliNQuality website.
- Verify that the file you received matches the published SHA-256 checksum before running it, if one was provided with your download.
- If you are unsure where your copy came from, do not run it. Ask for a fresh copy.
Do not turn off SmartScreen, Microsoft Defender, or any other Windows security feature to install Savepoint. These protections should stay on. If your organisation's policy blocks unsigned applications, that policy is doing its job. Speak to your IT team rather than working around it, and they can decide whether to allow this build.
Signed distribution is planned before any broader production deployment. A future release will carry a code-signing certificate issued to AliNQuality LLC, at which point this warning will no longer appear.
