Aevum for Windows is on its way to your machine. Here is the rest of the way in.
Nobody vouches for an unsigned build but us, so here is the fingerprint. If these match, the file you have is the file we made.

It will say it protected your PC, and that the publisher is unknown. It is right: we haven't bought the certificate that would put our name on that screen.
We spent the certificate budget on Aevum Voice. All of it. The signing authority wants a few hundred dollars a year to vouch for us; the model that reads your manuscript wanted the same money to be good at it. We chose the prose.
That warning is about a missing receipt, not about the file. We are confident in the code - run it past your antivirus first if you like, we would do the same. The certificate is coming; the writing app arrived first.
Edge and Chrome may say the file "isn't commonly downloaded" - that is a popularity contest, not a verdict. Open the downloads list, click the … beside Aevum, and choose Keep.
Open Aevum_0.1.0_x64-setup.exe from your Downloads folder.
A blue window appears: Windows protected your PC. Click More info - the line "Publisher: Unknown" appears - then Run anyway.
Do this only for files you meant to download. Leave SmartScreen on; it is doing its job, and it will stop being suspicious of us once we're signed.
Pick a location, let it install, and launch Aevum from the Start menu.
Aevum opens like a letter, not a dashboard. It asks your name, shows you what it is and isn't, lets you pick the light the room works in, and takes a name for your first workspace. Then it gets out of the way.
No account is required to write. Nothing is uploaded. Your manuscripts are plain files on your own disk - see the privacy policy if you want the long version.
