What you get

Windows 10/11, x64. Installs per-user to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Calame.
System tray: open, restart server, check for updates, quit.
Closing the window keeps the server running in the tray.
Silent auto-update at startup, signed with the project updater key.
Your data lives in %APPDATA%\Calame and survives uninstall.

Under the hood

Tauri shell around a bundled Node runtime; no global installs.
The app serves locally on port 4567 (falls back if taken).
Everything self-hosted: no calls home except the update check.
MSI available for deployment tooling that expects one.
Silent install for fleets: Calame_0.8.0_x64-setup.exe /S

Windows SmartScreen will warn on first run

The installer is not yet Authenticode-signed, so SmartScreen shows an “unrecognized app” notice: choose “More info”, then “Run anyway”. Updates are still integrity-checked; every release ships a minisign signature verified by the built-in updater before installing.
