Only download FileMind from filemind.app or our GitHub releases — we are not affiliated with the discontinued FileMind file manager (2013) listed on third-party download sites.
Windows will warn you before it runs this installer
The beta is not code-signed yet, so Microsoft Defender SmartScreen shows a blue full-screen warning the first time you run it. This is expected. Here is exactly what you will see:
Windows protected your PC
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting.
App: FileMind-Setup-0.4.1-beta.exe
Publisher: Unknown publisher
The only button you can see is “Don’t run”. To continue, click More info first — a Run anyway button appears underneath it.
“Unknown publisher” means the file carries no certificate — not that anything is wrong with it. Signing certificates are issued to a verified legal entity and that verification is in progress; a signed build will replace this one. Until then, confirm you have the right file by checking its SHA-256 checksum below.
