Why is the app unsigned?
Shelfab is built by an independent student developer. Digital code-signing certificates for Windows and Mac are prohibitively expensive for a free, open-source project. Because of this, you might see standard security warnings (like Windows SmartScreen or macOS Gatekeeper) when first installing it. I've chosen to leave it unsigned to ensure the app remains completely free and accessible for everyone.
How to Install
Windows
When the SmartScreen warning appears, click 'More Info' and then 'Run Anyway'.
macOS
If blocked by Gatekeeper, right-click (or control-click) the app and select 'Open' from the menu.
Linux
Use 'sudo apt install ./shelfab.deb' for Debian-based systems or 'sudo dnf install ./shelfab.rpm' for Red Hat.
Open Source
Shelfab is licensed under GPLv3. You can review the code, contribute features, or report issues directly on our GitHub repository.
