Download TaktSignal Community Alpha

TaktSignal installs on your own computer like any other application — no Docker, no terminal, no database to set up. It keeps its data on that computer, is reachable only from it, and only ever reads from ERPNext.

  • Read-only ERPNext
  • Local-first data
  • No telemetry
  • No behavioral analytics
  • No ad tracking
  • SHA-256 verified downloads
  • Sanitized diagnostics
  • Published limitations

Before you download

  • This is early software for evaluation. It has not been validated in enough real factories. Do not use it as the only basis for production decisions. Known limitations.
  • Connect a staging, isolated or test copy of ERPNext first.
  • You need an ERPNext account that can only read; setup checks it and stops if ERPNext reports write permissions. Create one (10 minutes).
  • Setup takes about 10 minutes, plus the first data read (a few minutes for a small factory).

  • Windows — x64

    Experimental Community Alpha

    Windows 10 / 11, 64-bit

    Tested
    The installer has been built and inspected, but it has not completed the same install validation on a real Windows PC as the tested platforms.
    Key limitation
    Experimental: expect rough edges and please report them.

    Experimental build not published. Coming soon — not part of this release.

  • macOS — Intel

    Pending — not validated

    x86-64 Macs

    Tested
    Not built or tested for this release.
    Key limitation
    No download until an Intel Mac build has been validated.

    Pending — not validated yet. Coming soon — not part of this release.

Every file is listed with its SHA-256 checksum from the signed release metadata (SHA256SUMS). Updates are offered inside the app only when you check for them, and are verified with the release signature before they are installed.

Verify a download (optional)

A SHA-256 checksum is a 64-character fingerprint of a file: change one byte and it changes completely. If the checksum of your file equals the one shown above, you have exactly the published file. You don't have to do this — but it takes one command:

macOSshasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/TaktSignal-…-macos-arm64.zip
Linuxsha256sum ~/Downloads/TaktSignal-…-linux-x64.deb
WindowsGet-FileHash $HOME\Downloads\TaktSignal-…-setup.exe

A matching checksum proves the file is the published one; it is not a code signature or a security audit. More about verifying.

After installing

  1. Open TaktSignal. Its Control Center opens in your browser, on this computer only.
  2. Read what TaktSignal does with your data, and create your local administrator.
  3. Connect ERPNext with the dedicated read-only Reader. TaktSignal checks it cannot write.
  4. Pick your company and review what TaktSignal can read.
  5. Run the first sync, review Data Trust, and open TaktSignal.
