First launch needs a one-time sign-in.

The app opens a small dialog the very first time you run it: pick a password, confirm your email, and you're in. That starts the 14-day trial. There's no checkout in the way - the donation tiers are entirely optional and only nudge you after the trial ends. How the trial and tiers fit together →

What's new in 0.5.0

  • Sign-in & 14-day free trial - start the app, pick a password, confirm your email, you're in. Tier system kicks in only after the trial.
  • Offline mode - master kill-switch in Settings ▸ Connection. Suppresses every REST / FTP / heartbeat call so the app runs as a plain local file browser.
  • Recognises .ue2 Ultimate firmware updates as a known file type.
  • Inline-rename now keeps keyboard focus on the renamed item - no more mouse round-trip.
  • Account section in Settings: change email, change password, sign out, plus upgrade buttons.

Previously, in 0.4.0

  • Settings dialog refresh - focus-ring color picker with hex, presets, opacity slider.
  • Reset to defaults action that preserves your connection details.
  • Inline test-connection result with status dot.
