Public releases repository
Kora ships signed binaries and OTA update manifests from a public repository at github.com/andsigno82/kora-releases. The application source code stays private; everything you download and every update check happens through this public repo.
What is in the repository
Section titled “What is in the repository”- Signed installers for each release —
.dmgfor macOS today, with other platforms added as they become available. - OTA manifests under the
stablechannel — the URL that Kora’s updater polls on launch. - Release notes generated from the application changelog.
When to use the repo directly
Section titled “When to use the repo directly”- Manual install when the in-app updater is blocked or the
.dmgfrom the official site is unreachable — open the Releases page, pick a tag, and download the asset for your platform. - Verify an update before applying it — open the OTA manifest URL and confirm the version, signatures, and notes match the release you expect.
- Pin a specific release in environments that should not auto-update.
The official landing page kora-ai.download/release/latest is itself a redirect into this repository.
What is not in the repo
Section titled “What is not in the repo”- The Kora application source code — published only as signed binaries.
- The
.kora/settings and session data on your machine — those live in your home directory.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- The official download page returns 404 → open the Releases page directly; a redirect or DNS issue on the landing page can hide available releases.
- The OTA manifest does not match the release notes → the updater rejects the update. Install the ZIP from the Releases page and restart Kora.
- The repository is private or missing → Kora cannot fetch updates. Contact support and keep using the manual ZIP install until it returns.
