Questions

Good questions

How do I install DeskDen?

Download the app and its checksum file from GitHub Releases, and read the install guide before a first install or an upgrade. The source archives GitHub generates cannot be installed as an app.

How do I report a problem?

Open an issue on GitHub, removing any private information first.
