Windows SmartScreen Warning

Windows may show a security warning when installing FocusFlowAI for the first time. This is normal for new software and does not mean the app is unsafe.

Why does this happen?

Windows SmartScreen shows warnings for apps that are new or not widely downloaded yet. As more users install FocusFlowAI, this warning will automatically disappear. We are also working on obtaining a code signing certificate to eliminate this warning entirely.

How to Install Anyway

Click "More info"

When you see the "Windows protected your PC" message, look for the "More info" link below the warning text. Click it to reveal additional options.

You will see:

"Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting..."

Click "Run anyway"

After clicking "More info", a new button will appear: "Run anyway". Click this button to proceed with the installation.

Complete Installation

The FocusFlowAI installer will now run normally. Follow the prompts to complete the installation. The app will launch automatically when finished.
