First launch

Your OS will warn you. That’s expected.

The Windows installer is code-signed (Azure Trusted Signing). Windows still warns on a brand-new certificate until enough people have downloaded it for Microsoft’s SmartScreen to build a reputation for the publisher — that clears on its own as the app spreads. The warning is real, and it is about how new we are, not about the file.

Windows

“Windows protected your PC”

SmartScreen shows a blue dialog the first time you run the .exe installer. Click More info, then Run anyway. It means “Microsoft hasn’t seen this signature enough times yet”, not that the file is unsafe.

macOS

“Cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified”

Gatekeeper blocks the .dmg on first open. Right-click the app icon, choose Open, and confirm in the dialog. macOS will remember it after the first launch. We’ll notarize once Apple Developer Program enrolment lands.

If it still won’t run

Work through these in order — the first one catches almost everybody.

  1. The “Run anyway” button is hidden. SmartScreen shows only Don’t run until you click the small More info link. Most people stop here thinking they’ve been blocked.
  2. Your browser may have discarded the file. Chrome and Edge often flag a large unrecognised installer. Open chrome://downloads (or edge://downloads) and choose Keep if it’s sitting there unfinished.
  3. Check the download isn’t truncated. In PowerShell:
    Get-FileHash "$HOME\Downloads\TimeBaQ_*_x64-setup.exe" -Algorithm SHA256
    Compare it against the published checksums. A mismatch means a partial download — grab it again.
  4. Antivirus may have quarantined it. If the file disappears after downloading, or double-clicking does nothing at all, check your antivirus quarantine.
  5. On a work or school laptop, try the MSI instead. Managed machines often permit a policy-installable .msi where they refuse an .exe. If IT has disabled “Run anyway” entirely, though, no download will install — that one needs your admin.

After you install

Then: Chrome, sign in, first run.

Getting past the installer is the fiddly part. What follows is short — but the first step is a hard requirement, so don’t skip it.

  1. i.

    Install Google Chrome

    TimeBaQ fills in applications by driving a real installed copy of Google Chrome — it doesn’t ship its own browser. Get Chrome first. Chromium, Edge, and Brave don’t count. Without Chrome the app still opens, but it shows a “Chrome required” banner and can’t apply to anything.

  2. ii.

    Open TimeBaQ and sign in

    Google, GitHub, or email — whichever you prefer. No license key needed to start: the free tier is created on the spot. Already bought a plan? Paste the key from your welcome email instead.

  3. iii.

    Follow the Quickstart the app opens on

    Four steps, in order: fill in your profile and résumé, connect one job platform, answer the required screening questions, then start your first run. You can stop a run at any point.

  4. iv.

    Linux only: make the AppImage executable

    Before step ii, mark the .AppImage executable — chmod +x TimeBaQ_*.AppImage — then run it. Linux ships as an AppImage only; it works on any distro with no install step.

Install guide

The longer walkthrough.

The beta install guide on GitHub covers per-platform install steps, what to do when the installer is blocked, the first-launch flow, where logs and the SQLite database live, and how to uninstall cleanly. Read it before installing if your environment is locked down.
