Put ApplianceOps on the office PC.

The desktop app for Windows: its own window, real Windows notifications when a customer texts or a payment lands, and it keeps itself up to date. Same login, same shop, no extra charge.

Windows 10 & 11 · 64-bit · about 6.5 MB · free with your account

That address takes you straight to the installer — nothing else on the page, nothing to sign into first.

Five minutes, once

Installing it, step by step.

You only do this once per computer. After that the app updates itself and you never download it again.

01
Download the installer
Click the button above on the PC you want it on. Your browser saves ApplianceOps-Setup.exe to your Downloads folder. It is about 6.5 MB, so it lands in seconds.
02
Open it, and expect a warning
Double-click the file. Windows will almost certainly say “Windows protected your PC.” That is normal and expected — see the box below for exactly what to click and why it happens.
03
Let it install
It installs itself and opens. There is nothing to choose and no folder to pick. If your PC has never run a modern web app, it may also fetch a Microsoft component called WebView2 — so stay online for this first install.
04
Sign in as normal
Your usual ApplianceOps email and password. Everything is already there — your calls, your calendar, your customers. Nothing to import, nothing to set up again.
05
Say yes to notifications
So the PC tells you when a customer texts, a job lands, or a payment comes in — even when the window is behind something else. This is the main reason to run the desktop app at all.
06
That’s it — forever
It checks for updates on its own and asks before restarting. You will not have to come back to this page, and we will not make you reinstall to get a fix.

⚠️ About that “Windows protected your PC” message

You will see it, and it does not mean anything is wrong with the file. Click More info, then Run anyway.

Windows shows that warning for any program whose publisher it has not seen enough times before. It is not a virus scan and it is not telling you the file is unsafe — it is telling you the publisher is unfamiliar to it. We are a small shop-software company and we are working through the certificate that removes the warning, but we would rather explain it honestly than have you wonder. If you would rather not proceed, the browser version does everything the desktop app does apart from the Windows notifications.

Why bother

What the desktop app gives you that a browser tab doesn’t.

If you run the office from a PC, these are the differences. If you live on your phone, you can skip it entirely — nothing is missing from the phone.

🔔 Notifications that actually arrive

Real Windows notifications. A customer texts the shop, a job gets assigned, a payment lands — the PC tells you, even with the window minimised behind your email.

🖥️ Its own window

Not one tab among twenty. It does not get closed by accident when someone tidies up the browser, and it is on the taskbar where the person answering the phone can find it.

🔄 It updates itself

It checks on its own and asks before restarting — it will not reboot itself while you are mid-invoice. You never download an installer twice.

🖨️ Printing that behaves

Invoices and receipts print the way an office expects, to the printer that is already plugged into that PC.

Everything else

Phones, tablets and Macs.

Same app, same login, whatever the shop already owns. You do not have to buy anything new.

Coming to Google Play

🤖 Android

The Play Store listing is on its way. You do not have to wait for it — open ApplianceOps in Chrome on the phone, tap the menu and choose Install app. That puts the same app on your home screen today, and it works with no signal.

Available now

🍎 iPhone & iPad

In Safari, tap Share and choose Add to Home Screen. Worth doing even if you like the browser: on an iPhone, alerts only work in the home-screen app — Apple does not allow them in a Safari tab at all.

Available now

💻 Mac

There is no separate Mac download and you do not need one — the full app runs in Safari or Chrome. For alerts, choose File → Add to Dock in Safari. macOS will not notify an ordinary browser tab.

Before you ask

Download questions.

Does the desktop app cost extra?

No. It is included with every plan, on as many computers as you like. There is no per-device charge and no separate licence.

Which versions of Windows does it run on?

Windows 10 and Windows 11, 64-bit. It does not run on Windows 7 or 8, and there is no 32-bit build. If you are on an older machine, use the browser version — it works fine.

My antivirus flagged the installer. Is it safe?

Yes. Antivirus tools flag unfamiliar installers by reputation rather than content, and a small publisher's new release has little reputation yet. The file is served straight from our release page over HTTPS. If your antivirus quarantines it, restore it from the quarantine list and run it again — and if you would rather not, the browser version loses you nothing but the Windows notifications.

Do I have to download it again when there's an update?

No, and this is the point of it. The app checks for updates by itself, downloads them in the background, and asks you before restarting. It will not restart itself while you are working.

Can I put it on more than one computer?

Yes — the office PC, the back room, a laptop at home. Bear in mind ApplianceOps signs you in on one device at a time, so signing in on the second one signs the first one out.

Will it work when the internet drops?

Yes. Your day, your calls and your customers stay readable and editable offline, and everything syncs when the connection comes back.

How do I uninstall it?

Settings → Apps → Installed apps in Windows, find ApplianceOps, and choose Uninstall. Nothing in your shop's data is affected — it all lives in your account, not on the PC.

Where do I find this page again?

applianceops.pro/download, or from inside the app: Settings → Downloads. Both always point at the current version.
