Get the Badu app
Badu works in any web browser. The app puts it in its own window with its own icon, keeps it running in the corner of your screen when you close the window, and can start it with your computer.
Setting it up
- Open the file you downloaded. On Windows it installs itself. On a Mac, drag Badu into Applications. On Linux, allow the file to run as a program, then open it.
- Choose where your Badu is. Pick Online and type your Badu's web address (the one we set up for you), or On this computer to run Badu on the computer itself.
- Sign in with your Badu password, the same as in the browser.
“Windows protected your PC” or “can't be opened”
That's because the app doesn't carry a paid publisher certificate yet. It's safe to open:
- Windows: press More info, then Run anyway.
- Mac: right-click Badu in Applications and choose Open, then Open again. Or go to System Settings, Privacy & Security, and press Open Anyway.
On your phone
There's nothing to download. Open your Badu in the browser and add it to your home screen: on Android, tap Install when Badu offers it, or use the Chrome menu; on iPhone, tap Share in Safari, then Add to Home Screen. It then opens like any other app. In Badu, Continue on phone signs your phone in with a QR code.
Updating
Download the app again and open it. It replaces the old version and keeps your settings. If your Badu is online, it updates by itself and the app shows the new version straight away.
