Signed installer for Windows 11 24H2+ · signed Mac .dmg with notarized app · Linux hashes published · license required to activate

Every purchase has a 30-day money-back refund, no questions asked — install it, load your real numbers, and if it is not for you, email us for a full refund.

Before you install

A download should arrive with its receipt.

GlidePath is local-first, but the installer still deserves verification. The platform-specific signing claims are named plainly, and the published checksum file gives every release artifact something you can inspect before running it.

SHA256SUMS.txt Release notes → System requirements →

Windows

Signed publisher

The setup .exe is signed by QuickTech LLC via Microsoft Trusted Signing, so SmartScreen can identify the publisher. QuickTech LLC

Mac

Signed, notarized app

The Apple Silicon disk image is code-signed as QuickTech LLC and carries an Apple-notarized app before shipping. Notarized Developer ID

Linux

Hashes published

Linux .deb and AppImage builds publish SHA-256 hashes, and CI scans release artifacts before they go live. SHA256SUMS.txt

Already bought it?

Use this page any time you need a fresh installer: first install, second device, manual update, or a replacement download after antivirus quarantined the file. Your data folder is not touched when you re-run the installer.

Updating? Close GlidePath Money first, then run the installer. If it reports that it can’t write glidepathmoney-backend.exe, part of the app is still running in the background — open Task Manager, end that process, and click Retry.

Still comparing?

You can download the app before purchase, but activation requires a license. The demo page shows the installed product with fictional data, pricing explains the desktop license, and the 30-day refund gives you time to try it with your real numbers.

Lost your license key?

Go to the license-recovery page and enter the email you bought with — we re-send your key and download link straight to that address. Prefer email? Write [email protected] from your purchase address and we'll sort it out by hand.

Windows setup.

Three steps — it runs entirely on your own computer. (On Linux? Jump to the Linux install — it's two commands.)

1

Download & run the installer

Click the button above. The installer is ~83 MB (the .NET runtime is bundled inside, so there's nothing else to install; it extracts to ~277 MB on disk). Run it and approve the prompt — Windows needs it to install the app and add a firewall rule. The installer is signed by QuickTech LLC via Microsoft Trusted Signing so SmartScreen recognizes the publisher; if you see an "unknown publisher" warning, you grabbed a pre-1.0 build — re-download from this page.

2

Explore first, or activate

GlidePath opens on its front door: Explore comes first — one click opens a fictional side-business household, no license key, account, or email. Bought a license? The Already have a license key? panel sits just below: paste the key and email from your welcome email, it checks in with api.glidepathmoney.com just long enough to confirm your license, and you're in. Either way, your financial file stays local — the license check sends your key and device info, never your financial data.

3

Build your first Money State

When you're ready for your own numbers, the home page opens with a first-run brief and one button: Build your first Money State. It leads to Setup, where you start with one file — drop a bank CSV (or an OFX/QFX activity file) and GlidePath shows exactly what will change (row counts, flagged duplicates, sample rows) before anything saves — or type in two or three current balances by hand. Stuck? Help & FAQ is in the app's Trust & Data menu.

System requirements.

Modest needs — the runtime is bundled, so there’s nothing extra to install. If you have a computer from the last several years, you’re fine.

Windows

  • Windows 11 24H2 or newer, 64-bit
  • ~83 MB download; about 277 MB on disk after install
  • .NET runtime is bundled — no separate installs
  • A modern browser is included via the desktop app; your dashboard opens at localhost:5000

Linux

  • 64-bit x64: Ubuntu 24.04 or newer, Linux Mint 22 or newer, or Debian 13 or newer — Ubuntu 22.04, Mint 21 and Debian 12 are not supported
  • Other distros need glibc 2.39 or newer (ldd --version shows yours); validated on Ubuntu 24.04
  • Self-contained — no .NET install needed
  • Minimal distros need libicu; keyring encryption needs a Secret Service keyring running in your login session, such as GNOME Keyring or KWallet (or use a passphrase)

Mac

  • Apple Silicon (M1 or later), macOS 14 (Sonoma) or newer — Intel Macs are not supported
  • Signed .dmg with an Apple-notarized app inside — open and drag to Applications (jump to Mac)

Same license either way — one purchase covers your household across Windows 11 (24H2 or newer), Linux, and Mac, up to your plan’s device count (3 on Personal, 6 on Personal+Business). No phone or always-on internet required: GlidePath runs on your own machine.

Linux

The same app, natively on Linux — validated end-to-end on Ubuntu 24.04 desktop (keyring-backed encryption keys, PDF invoices, the full test suite). It runs on Ubuntu 24.04 or newer, and on other distros with glibc 2.39 or newer. Pick your package:

Ubuntu 24.04+ / Mint 22+ / Debian 13+ — .deb

Download the .deb (~117 MB), then install it: 

cd ~/Downloads
sudo apt install ./glidepathmoney_1.29.0_amd64.deb

Launch GlidePath Money from your app menu (or run glidepathmoney) — it serves your dashboard at localhost:5000 in your browser.

Other distros (glibc 2.39+) — AppImage

Check first: run ldd --version — the first line must show glibc 2.39 or newer. An AppImage bundles its own libraries but not glibc, so it can’t run on an older distro.

Download the AppImage (~158 MB) (self-contained — no install, no .NET needed), then make it executable and run it: 

chmod +x GlidePathMoney-linux-x64-1.29.0.AppImage
./GlidePathMoney-linux-x64-1.29.0.AppImage

Same deal: your dashboard appears at localhost:5000. (Minimal distros need libicu installed; upgrading later = download the new AppImage and replace the old one.)

Activation: no installer wizard on Linux — open the app and paste your license key + email on the Activate page it greets you with. Your data lives in ~/.local/share/GlidePath Money/data.

What works today: the whole planner — dashboard, retirement Monte Carlo, Tax Valley, the balance-transfer tracker, imports, invoices, the browser extension, Glide AI, and at-rest encryption with keys in your desktop keyring (a Secret Service keyring such as GNOME Keyring, standard on Ubuntu/GNOME, or KWallet with its Secret Service interface enabled; without one, use a passphrase instead). Validated end-to-end on Ubuntu 24.04. On other distros with glibc 2.39 or newer the AppImage should work, and we'll fix what you find — tell us.

Verify your download: every artifact's hash is published at SHA256SUMS.txt (run sha256sum --ignore-missing -c SHA256SUMS.txt next to your download). The AppImage runtime and its embedded helper's corresponding source is available as a source archive (~30 MB) with its SHA-256 checksum. These links also open VirusTotal lookups for this build's .deb and AppImage. Same license as Windows — one purchase covers your household on either OS, up to your plan’s device count (3 on Personal, 6 on Personal+Business).

Mac

A signed .dmg with an Apple-notarized app inside — open it and drag GlidePath Money to Applications, no Terminal. Gatekeeper opens it without the "unidentified developer" warning. Requires Apple Silicon:

Apple Silicon (M1 or later) — .dmg

Download the Apple Silicon disk image (~108 MB), then open it and drag the app to Applications.

Launch GlidePath Money from Launchpad or Applications — it serves your dashboard at localhost:5000 in your browser, same as Windows.

Apple Silicon only

GlidePath Money for Mac requires Apple Silicon (M1 or later). Intel Macs are not supported. Apple has finished moving the Mac off Intel — macOS Tahoe is the last release that runs on any Intel Mac — so new GlidePath releases are built for Apple Silicon only.

Not sure which you have? Apple menu → About This Mac. “Chip: Apple M1/M2/M3…” means you’re set. “Processor: Intel” means this app won’t run on that Mac — please don’t buy a license for it.

Bought GlidePath for an Intel Mac? Nothing you installed stops working — the version on that machine keeps running, and your license is not tied to it. It covers several installs, so it comes with you to an Apple Silicon Mac; recover your key if you no longer have it. Anything about your own setup, ask us at [email protected].

Signed disk image, notarized app. The disk image is code-signed as QuickTech LLC and carries an Apple-notarized app, so macOS opens the app without the "unidentified developer" block. The app inside is the Notarized Developer ID build.

Activation: on first launch the app opens its Activate page in your browser — paste your license key + email. Your data lives in ~/Library/Application Support/GlidePath Money/.

What works today: the whole planner — dashboard, retirement Monte Carlo, Tax Valley, the balance-transfer tracker, imports, invoices, the browser extension, Glide AI, and optional at-rest encryption with keys in your macOS Keychain.

Verify your download: every artifact's hash is published at SHA256SUMS.txt. These links also open the VirusTotal lookup for this build's Apple Silicon disk image.

Prefer a hand install? Placing the app from Terminal (advanced) is available for troubleshooting and scripted setups — same signed disk image, just copied instead of dragged. The same license works on Windows 11 24H2 or newer and Linux — one purchase covers your household, up to your plan’s device count (3 on Personal, 6 on Personal+Business).

Antivirus flagged or quarantined the download?

Once in a while a brand-new release gets a “low reputation” flag from an antivirus tool. Most of these reports are reputation warnings for a new build, not confirmed malware. They usually clear within a few days as the release builds reputation.

You don’t have to take our word for it. Every GlidePath installer is code-signed by QuickTech LLC, and its SHA-256 hash is published. Open the VirusTotal lookup for this exact build.

If yours quarantined it: open your antivirus’s Quarantine or Protection History, find the GlidePath Money installer, choose Restore or Allow, and re-run it. We also report each release to the antivirus vendors to clear the flag at the source. Either way, your financial file stays local by default — that’s the whole point of GlidePath.

Need help?

Most questions are answered on the Help & FAQ page — give that a quick scan first. For anything else, click the Feedback button in the topbar (visible on every page of the installed app) or email [email protected]. You'll hear back from a human, usually within a day — often much faster.

Already installed an older version? The dashboard shows an "update available" banner across the top automatically when a newer build is out. Click the download link, re-run the installer, and your data stays exactly where it is.
