ZEAULU 5.3.18.5 — SMALL DESKTOP LAUNCHER (QA)

This is a portable browser-based local launcher, not a digitally signed installer.

FIRST LAUNCH: Connect to the internet. The launcher downloads all 73 application files (~127 MB of source data) from the versioned Zeaulu web release on https://zeaulu.com/, verifies SHA-256 hashes against the release manifest compiled into the launcher, and stores a ~60 MB cache locally. First start may take some time depending on your connection. No paid service is required.

SUBSEQUENT LAUNCHES: The verified application files are served from the local cache, without needing to re-download them. Features that normally use external online services still require a connection.

WINDOWS: Extract the complete ZIP and double-click Start Zeaulu.cmd (or Zeaulu.exe). Keep the console window open while you use Zeaulu. Do not run the executable from the ZIP preview.

MAC: Extract the ZIP. Open the included Start Zeaulu.command script or the Zeaulu executable. macOS may block the unsigned binary; review the security prompt before choosing whether to open it.

Zeaulu launches in your default browser, served from 127.0.0.1. It does NOT install as a native standalone app and does NOT add a desktop shortcut automatically.

SUPPORTED: Windows x64, macOS Intel x64, or macOS Apple Silicon ARM64 depending on package name.

The old 65MB+ fully self-contained ZIP remains available separately for offline-first deployment. This small launcher is provided to make the chat download and GoDaddy upload easier.

Version: 5.3.18.5. QA/preview: unsigned, not notarized or production-certified.
