Download and Install the Desktop App

Before you install

The app can be downloaded before your account is ready, but you need employee access to sign in and track work.

• Confirm whether the computer uses Windows, macOS, or Linux.
• Use a stable internet connection to download the installer and complete the first sign-in.
• On Windows, be prepared to approve an administrator prompt because ZMorning installs for the computer.
• Ask your manager to add you as an employee and provide access to your employee account.

Download the current installer

1. 1

   Open the download page

   Website: Download → Platform downloads

   The page offers separate downloads for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

2. 2

   Choose your platform

   Select Download for Windows, Download for Mac, or Download for Linux.

3. 3

   Wait for secure verification

   ZMorning checks the request and prepares a temporary link to the current installer. Keep the page open while the status reads Checking or Preparing download.

4. 4

   Save or open the file

   Your browser may save the file automatically or ask where to place it. If the temporary link has expired before the download begins, return to the page and select the platform button again.

Install on Windows

1. 1

   Open the setup file

   Open the downloaded ZMorning-Setup-[version].exe file.

2. 2

   Approve the Windows prompt

   If User Account Control asks for permission, review the app name and approve the installation.

3. 3

   Choose the installation location

   Keep the suggested directory or select another allowed location, then continue through the installer.

4. 4

   Open ZMorning

   Use the ZMorning desktop shortcut or Start menu shortcut created by the installer.

Install on macOS

1. 1

   Open the disk image

   Open the downloaded .dmg file and wait for its Finder window to appear.

2. 2

   Add ZMorning to Applications

   Drag ZMorning into the Applications folder shown in the disk image.

3. 3

   Open the installed app

   Eject the disk image, then open ZMorning from Applications.

Run the AppImage on Linux

1. 1

   Keep the AppImage in a stable location

   Move the downloaded .AppImage somewhere you will not accidentally remove it.

2. 2

   Allow the file to run

   Use the file's permissions or properties window to allow execution, or run this command from its directory:

   chmod +x ZMorning*.AppImage

3. 3

   Open ZMorning

   Open the AppImage from the file manager, or run it from a terminal.

First launch and automatic updates

When ZMorning opens without a saved session, it shows Employee Login. Continue with the Sign In to the Desktop App guide to connect your account.

Troubleshoot download and installation problems

Secure verification could not load

Check the connection, reload the download page, and try again. A browser extension or network filter that blocks verification scripts may need to allow the ZMorning page.

The download did not start

Check the browser's downloads list and permission prompts. Then select the platform button again to prepare a fresh temporary link.

Windows asks for administrator approval

The Windows package installs for the computer. Ask the computer administrator to approve it if you do not have permission.

macOS cannot verify the app

Remove that copy and download the current signed and notarized disk image from ZMorning. Do not bypass an unexpected verification warning.

Linux will not open the AppImage

Confirm that the file has executable permission, then try opening it again.

ZMorning is running but the window is missing

Check the system tray. Closing the main window hides it; double-click the ZMorning tray icon to show it again.

If the problem continues, contact support with your operating system and the exact message shown.
