Two apps install on your machine: your team’s file space, and its chat. They connect to your organisation’s Puwapi account and run without a browser tab open.

On Linux, your Puwapi space remains accessible from the browser.

On first launch

Your system shows a warning the first time, which you only have to get past once.

On Windows

SmartScreen reports an unknown publisher. Click More info, then Run anyway.

On macOS

macOS blocks the app from opening. Open System Settings and go to Privacy & Security: the Open Anyway button appears there right after your attempt.

You need a Puwapi account
