If you're a Windows user, during install you will probably see a warning about an "Unrecognized app" and "Unknown publisher". This is expected, and we're working on removing this warning in a future version

If you're a MacOS user, we're working on getting a version out for you soon

Once you're in, there's one more thing of interest to call your attention to. In the top-left menu, you've got a File > Home button that will take you back to your homescreen when clicked (hotkey Ctrl + H). Very important to get back home after using an app!
