Install & uninstall

Overview

On Windows, just run the installer; on macOS, run one command in Terminal. The app and your data are stored separately, so updating or uninstalling never touches your data by default.

Install on Windows

Open the Download page and click Download under “Windows” — you get the installer (named like work1024-setup-r3.exe, an online installer that fetches the latest version). On a slow or offline connection, use the offline full installer on the same page instead. If the browser warns that it doesn’t usually download this file, that is a routine warning for newly released programs — it is not a virus report; just follow the screenshots below.

1. Warning — click “⋯”

2. Choose “Keep”

3. “Keep anyway” in the dialog
Double-click it. If “Windows protected your PC” appears, click “More info” → “Run anyway” — this is a routine warning for newly released programs, not a virus report.

1. Click “More info”

2. Then click “Run anyway”
Follow the wizard. It installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\work1024 by default — no administrator rights needed. You can also pick your own install location; if that location requires administrator rights, approve the User Account Control prompt and the installer will restart and continue automatically.

The default location is inside your user folder; you can change it
When setup finishes, click “Finish” to launch the app.

When setup finishes, click “Finish” to launch the app

Install on macOS

Open Terminal (Finder → Applications → Utilities → Terminal).
Paste this command and press Enter:

Run the command in Terminal — the script downloads, verifies and installs

curl -fsSL https://www.work1024.com/install.sh | bash

The script does everything: it detects your chip (Apple Silicon / Intel), fetches the latest build from the server and verifies its SHA-256, installs into Applications and launches the app.
To update later, just run the same command again — or let the app check for updates itself.

Uninstall

Windows

Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps, find work1024 and click Uninstall.

The uninstaller has a “also delete user data (cannot be undone)” checkbox:

Unchecked (default): only the app is removed, your local data is kept (it is still there if you reinstall later).
Checked: your local data is deleted as well.

Windows uninstaller with the “delete user data” option — The “also delete user data (cannot be undone)” option is unchecked by default

macOS

Quit the app first;
Open Applications and drag 抓手工作台 to the Trash.
