Prefer the browser? Olto Discovery runs fully right in your browser — no install required.
The platform, minus the browser
A real native window
Its own icon in your dock or taskbar, and it remembers your window size and position between launches.
Always up to date
It is the live platform in a native shell, so new features show up as they ship. Nothing to reinstall.
Its own window
A separate window from your browser tabs, opening straight to your dashboard.
Same security
The same encrypted connection and the same sign-in (including two-factor) as the web app. The window has no extra access to your computer.
Up and running in about a minute
Pick your platform. The one thing worth knowing is the first-launch security prompt — each guide shows exactly what to click.
Download the installer
Click Download for Windows. You will get
Olto-Discovery-Windows-x64-Setup.exe(about 1.13 MB).Open the file
Double-click the downloaded
.exefrom your browser’s downloads or your Downloads folder.Get past the Windows security checkpoint
Because the app is brand-new and not yet code-signed, Windows SmartScreen may warn that it is from an “unknown publisher.” This is expected. Click More info, then Run anyway — see the walkthrough below.
Install
It installs just for you — no admin password needed — and adds Start-menu and desktop shortcuts.
Open and sign in
Launch Olto Discovery from your Start menu or desktop, sign in, and you are in.
Click More info, then Run anyway. The prompt appears only because the installer is not yet code-signed — it is published by Velora Biotech LLC.
Download the installer
Click Download for macOS. You will get
Olto-Discovery-macOS-universal.dmg(about 3.4 MB). It is a universal build — one download runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel.Open the disk image
Double-click the downloaded
.dmg, then drag Olto Discovery onto the Applications folder shown in the window.Get past the macOS security checkpoint
Because the app is not notarized by Apple yet, a normal double-click is blocked. Open it once the approved way: in Applications, right-click (or Control-click) Olto Discovery → Open, then click Open in the dialog. You only do this once — see the walkthrough below.
Open and sign in
After that first approval it launches normally from your dock or Launchpad. Sign in, and you are in.
Right-click (Control-click) the app and choose Open — that gives you the Open button a normal double-click does not. Alternatively: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
If macOS instead says the app is “damaged,” clear the download flag in Terminal: xattr -cr "/Applications/Olto Discovery.app", then open it.
Two formats, and no “unverified developer” prompt to click through. The portable AppImage runs on any distribution; the .deb is a smaller native package for Debian, Ubuntu and their derivatives.
AppImage
- 1. Make it executable — right-click → Properties → Permissions → “Allow executing,” or run
chmod +x Olto-Discovery-Linux-x86_64.AppImage. - 2. Run it — double-click it, or run
./Olto-Discovery-Linux-x86_64.AppImage.
Needs FUSE. If you see a libfuse.so.2 error, install it (Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install libfuse2) or run with --appimage-extract-and-run.
Debian & Ubuntu
- 1. Install it — run
sudo apt install ./Olto-Discovery-Linux-amd64.deb(or double-click it to open your software installer). - 2. Launch it — open Olto Discovery from your applications menu.
For Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, elementary and other apt-based distributions.
Questions about the desktop app
Is it safe to install?
Yes. Both installers are built and published by Velora Biotech LLC directly from our source code. The only reason your computer shows a warning is that the app is not yet code-signed / notarized — a step we are adding, which removes the prompt. The desktop app is just the live Olto Discovery site in a native window; it has no extra access to your files.
Why does my computer warn me on first open?
New apps without a paid signing certificate have not built up reputation with Windows SmartScreen or Apple’s notary service yet, so each shows a one-time notice. On Windows: More info → Run anyway. On macOS: right-click → Open (or System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway). Linux has no such prompt. After the first approval, it opens normally.
Does the desktop app update itself?
The app shows the live Olto Discovery platform, so every product feature is always current — there is nothing to update for that. When we release a new version of the native shell itself, you download it again from this page (a built-in auto-updater is planned).
Which platforms are supported?
All three desktop platforms are available now: Windows 10 & 11 (64-bit); macOS 10.15+ (a universal build that runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel); and Linux (a portable AppImage for any distribution, plus a .deb for Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives). And of course Olto Discovery runs fully in any modern browser with no install at all.
