- Downloads: the official Ionize Discord bot

Do not run installers from mirrors, video descriptions, or direct messages. The homepage purchase control will say when sales are paused.
What the updater verifies
- Release metadata comes from the app's official update service
- The manifest signature is checked with Ed25519
- When a newer signed build is listed, Ionize offers View release notes only
- The in app Updates screen does not download or apply packages. Install new builds from the official Discord bot
The in app flow is: check → current or update available → View release notes. A walkthrough lives in Updates.
How to check the version you are running
The site status bar and the Latest Release section read the same public channel as the app. Compare that version to the number shown inside Ionize. If they disagree and you did not install a beta, treat the local copy as unverified and replace it from an official origin.
