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.
On a Mac?
The macOS build isn't out yet. Leave your email and we'll send you one message when it is. Licenses already cover both platforms.
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-0.4.4-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.
Up and running in 4 steps
