Download
Vardoger isn’t available to download yet. It’s in final code-signing ahead of launch — Linux first, with Windows alongside, and macOS to follow.
What launch will look like
When Vardoger goes live, you’ll be able to install it like any other trusted package:
- Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint — a signed APT repository, so updates arrive with the rest of your system through
apt upgrade. - Fedora, RHEL, openSUSE — a signed
.rpm, with updates viadnf update. - Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) — a signed installer that bundles WinFsp.
- macOS — on the roadmap.
Every release artifact is signed; package managers verify signatures automatically. The Verify page describes the manual verification workflow for when downloads are live.
How Vardoger connects to your accounts
Once installed, you connect a cloud account from inside the app. Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox use each provider’s standard OAuth 2.0 sign-in with PKCE — you approve access in your browser, and Vardoger never sees your provider password. SFTP and WebDAV use the credentials you enter for your own server.
- Your secrets stay on your machine. OAuth access tokens, SFTP/WebDAV passwords, and your licence key are stored only in your operating system’s keychain — never on Vardoger’s servers and never in plaintext files.
- Your files travel directly between your device and the provider. Vardoger uses your Google Drive access solely to list your files and folders, download the files you open, and upload the changes you save — the file data never passes through Vardoger’s servers, is never sold or used for advertising, and is never read by anyone.
- Vardoger’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Full detail is in the application privacy policy.
