Q: How do I install Falafy on Linux?

Download the AppImage, make it executable with chmod +x Falafy-linux-x86_64.AppImage and open it with ./Falafy-linux-x86_64.AppImage. On Ubuntu, Debian, Mint and derivatives, you can also use the .deb package: sudo apt install ./Falafy-linux-amd64.deb. Both are for 64-bit PCs (x86_64). On Ubuntu 22.04 or newer, the AppImage needs the libfuse2 package (sudo apt install libfuse2). The AppImage updates itself; the .deb does not: when a new version is out, the app tells you and opens this page.

Choose where to use it. We highlight the option that matches the device you're on right now, but they're all free, ad-free and use the same account.

Seeing "Apple could not verify…"?

It's the macOS warning for apps that aren't notarized by Apple yet, like Falafy for now. If you downloaded the app from this site, here's how to allow it:

1
Click OK
On newer versions of macOS, the button is called "Done". Don't click "Move to Trash".
2
Open System Settings > Privacy & Security
Scroll down to the Security section, where the message about Falafy appears.
3
Click "Open Anyway"
If macOS asks again when you open Falafy, confirm with "Open Anyway".
4
Enter your Mac password
Or use Touch ID. You only need to do this once: after that, Falafy opens right away.

Frequently asked questions

Is Falafy free?

Yes. Downloading and using it is free and ad-free. Falafy+ is an optional plan for people who want more.

Why does Windows show a warning when I install it?

The installer is not digitally signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC". Click "More info" and then "Run anyway".

My antivirus blocked Falafy. Is it a virus?

No. Falafy doesn't have a code signing certificate yet (they cost money), and some antivirus programs block new unsigned software even when there is no real threat. This is called a false positive.

To install safely: only download it here at falafy.com.br; check that the file's SHA-256 matches the one shown below (in PowerShell: Get-FileHash .\Falafy-Setup-*.exe); in your antivirus, restore the file from quarantine and add an exclusion for the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Falafy folder. In Windows Defender: Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Protection history > Allow.

If you'd rather not touch your antivirus, use the web version: it's the same Falafy, with nothing to install.

Is Falafy available for Mac?

Yes. There is a macOS app for macOS 11 or later, with downloads for Apple silicon Macs (M1 to M4) and Intel Macs.

Click OK, without moving it to the Trash, and allow it in System Settings > Privacy & Security > "Open Anyway" (the steps are on this page). You can also use it in the browser, at falafy.com.br/app.
