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 (TestFlight beta)
iOS is available as a public beta through TestFlight.
- Install Apple’s TestFlight app from the App Store.
- Open the Navo TestFlight invitation.
- Tap Accept, then Install. Apple shows current availability and device compatibility on the invitation page.
Beta builds expire after the period shown in TestFlight. Update from TestFlight when a newer build is available.
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.
