Windows Users: You may encounter antivirus warnings when downloading or running Kable. This is common for new, unsigned applications and does not indicate malware.
Why this happens:
- Kable is currently unsigned (code signing certificates cost hundreds of dollars annually)
- New applications haven't built reputation with antivirus vendors yet
- Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC" warnings
What you can do:
- Windows Defender/SmartScreen: Click "More info" → "Run anyway"
- Other Antivirus: Add Kable to your antivirus whitelist/exclusions
- Verify Download: Check that you downloaded from the official GitHub Releases page
- Source Code: Review the open-source code for transparency
Our commitment to security:
- ✅ All code is open source and publicly auditable
- ✅ Builds are automated through GitHub Actions
- ✅ No telemetry or data collection (by us)
- ✅ Network requests only for legitimate purposes: Minecraft authentication, mod browsing (Modrinth), version manifests, and mod downloads
- ✅ Builds are reproducible and verifiable
As Kable gains popularity and reputation, these warnings will naturally decrease. We're working on alternative solutions like Microsoft Store distribution to improve trust.
