Opening Korva the first time

Korva is independently built and not yet signed with a paid Apple/Microsoft developer certificate, so the first time you open it your system may show a one-time caution screen. It isn’t a sign of a problem — here’s how to get past it. After that, Korva opens normally.

macOS

If you see “Korva can’t be opened” or “Apple could not verify…”:

macOS 14 & earlier: Control-click (right-click) Korva in Applications → Open → Open.

macOS 15 Sequoia & later: open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the Security section, click Open Anyway next to Korva, then confirm.

Windows

If SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC”:

Click More info, then Run anyway — the installer continues as normal.

Prefer to double-check?

Every download lists a SHA-256 checksum you can compare against your file, to confirm it arrived intact and untampered.

Not sure which file?

Windows

.exe — get this. The normal installer; double-click and follow the steps.

.msi — only if your IT team needs it for silent or group-policy installs.

macOS

.dmg — the only one you need. One file works on both Intel and Apple-Silicon Macs; open it and drag Korva into Applications.

Linux

.AppImage — works on any distro, nothing to install: chmod +x it, then run.

.deb — Ubuntu / Debian / Mint. .rpm — Fedora / RHEL / openSUSE. These integrate into your menu and updates.

Looking for the free converter first? Use the PUB to PDF converter, or compare Microsoft Publisher alternatives before replacing Publisher across a team.

Verify your download optional

Each download shows its SHA-256 checksum above. Compare it against the file you downloaded to be sure it arrived intact and untampered.

Windows (PowerShell)

certutil -hashfile Korva_setup.exe SHA256

macOS

shasum -a 256 Korva.dmg

Linux

Note: every build is signed for the auto-updater (minisign), but Korva isn’t yet notarized by Apple or signed for Windows SmartScreen — so your system may show a one-time caution screen on first launch. See Opening Korva the first time above.
