⚠️ You'll See a Windows Security Warning

This is totally normal! TimeDap is a starter project, so we haven't paid for an expensive code-signing certificate. Windows shows this warning for all new software without these certificates — even if the app is perfectly safe.

What to do: When you see "Windows protected your PC", just click "More info" then "Run anyway". That's it! The app will install normally.

Installation Steps

1

Download the installer

Click the download button above to get TimeDap Setup 1.0.0.exe

2

Run the installer

Double-click the downloaded file. Windows will show a blue screen saying "Windows protected your PC".

3

Click "More info" → "Run anyway"

This tells Windows you trust the app. It's completely safe — this warning appears because we're a small starter project.

Windows will show: "Windows protected your PC"
Click the small "More info" text, then the "Run anyway" button
4

Follow the installation wizard

Choose where to install (default location is fine). The app will install and start automatically.

5

Allow network access (if asked)

Windows Firewall might ask for permission. Check "Private networks" only and click Allow. This lets the app talk to your Chrome extension on your computer — no internet connection needed.

6

Done! Look for the icon

TimeDap now runs in your system tray (bottom-right corner, near the clock). It starts automatically when you boot Windows.

💡 How It Works

The desktop app monitors which program you're using (like VS Code, Slack, Excel) and logs the time locally on your computer. It talks to the Chrome extension so you see both website time and app time in one place. Everything is stored on your device — nothing is sent to the cloud.

After Installation

Troubleshooting

Can't find the app after installing?
Look in the system tray (bottom-right corner). Click the small up arrow (^) to show hidden icons. You should see TimeDap there.
Chrome extension says it can't connect?
Make sure the desktop app is running. Right-click the TimeDap icon in the system tray — it should say "Status: Running". If not, restart the app from the Start menu.
How do I quit or uninstall?
To quit: Right-click the tray icon → "Quit TimeDap"
To uninstall: Windows Settings → Apps → TimeDap → Uninstall
Your time tracking data will be kept in case you reinstall later.
