Opening Cheaper for the first time

Your OS will warn you before opening it — that's expected. Here's exactly what to click.

Why the warning shows up: Cheaper's desktop app isn't code-signed yet. Signing requires an Apple Developer account ($99/yr) and a Windows code-signing certificate, both of which are still being set up. This is a temporary step — once signed builds ship, these warnings and the extra clicks below go away entirely.

The source is open and auditable if you'd rather check it yourself first: github.com/ownasquare/cheaper-desktop.

Prefer the CLI?

Skip the desktop app entirely and run Cheaper straight from your terminal.

npx cheaper

Or install it globally:

npm install -g cheaper

After installing

Launching Cheaper starts the local gateway in the background and opens your live savings dashboard automatically — nothing else to configure to see it running.
