Desktop & mobile ## On the computer and in your pocket. The desktop app is published for Windows, with the Linux build to follow. An Android companion app connects to a machine by scanning its pairing QR code, or by typing its address, and browses and downloads shared files under the same access rules. iOS is in development. - Windows desktop (Linux to follow) - Android companion app - Saved devices for quick reconnection Automatic updates ## It tells you when there's a new version. Privatta checks for a newer build once shortly after launch — not on a timer that interrupts a transfer — and installs it on your say-so. Where a build can't replace itself, it says so and points you at the download instead of failing halfway through. Releases that change something older versions can't work with can be marked required, with an explicit opt-out rather than a forced exit. - One check per launch, never mid-transfer - Nothing downloads without you pressing the button - Required releases can be declined, at your own risk [Previous Guests, permissions and pairing.](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/privatta/features/people/) [Next Built for a real week.](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/privatta/features/everyday/) [All of Privatta features](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/privatta/features/)
