WoRToolCommand Console

Open the server editor in the WoRTool app

If the app is on this computer, it opens there. If not, it is a download away below.

Open the server editor

WoRTool on your desktop

Your plan pinned over War of Rights, the whole catalog offline, and your units a keystroke away, in an app for Windows, macOS and Linux. It is the same record as this site; it just sits beside the game and speaks up when something needs you.

Version 0.1.67. Pick your operating system.

What the app does

Everything waiting on you

Home opens on your unit's next event, the week ahead, the plans you were working on and your notices, so a glance between rounds tells you what needs you.

  • Answer Going, Maybe or Can't without opening the event.
  • The whole week, Monday to Sunday, with what still needs your answer.
  • Pick up where you left off: your last maps and plans.

Also in the app

  • Opens from your links

    wortool:// links from the site and from Discord open the matching page in the app, and once you have signed in, pages on wortool.com offer to open here.

  • Notifications, window closed

    Events, applications and activity arrive as system notifications, and the tray icon keeps count while the window is closed.

  • Your next muster in view

    Your unit's next event sits in the title bar with the time until it starts, a click from its page.

  • Starts with your computer

    Turn on launch at login in Settings, and closing the window keeps the app running in the tray.

  • Windows of its own

    Open any page in a second window beside the first, and the app comes back at the size and place you left it.

  • Server editor

    Edit a dedicated server's configuration, admins and logs over FTP. A unit's registered servers keep every change, so a bad edit can be put back.

  • Your password stays on the site

    You sign in on wortool.com with the account you already have. The app gets a session of its own, kept in your system's keystore.

  • Updates itself

    New versions download in the background and install when you restart. The Mac build is signed and notarized by Apple.

Every installer

Version 0.1.67. The app updates itself from the same place, so whichever you take today stays current; the Debian and Fedora packages update through their own package managers instead.

Why Windows asks before it installs

The app is safe to install. Windows asks because its installer is not signed; the Mac installer is, and Linux asks for nothing. Every installer is built in public by the GitHub Actions workflow further down.

What Windows shows the first time you run the installer, after More info.

Two clicks past the prompt

  1. When Windows says it protected your PC, choose More info. The prompt opens to name the installer and an unknown publisher, which is what any unsigned installer shows.

  2. Choose Run anyway, and the installer starts.

If your browser says the file is not commonly downloaded, choose Keep.

On a PC with Smart App Control turned on, Windows blocks unsigned apps outright and offers no Run anyway.

  • Windows

    Not signed
    Signature
    None. The NSIS installer carries no Authenticode certificate.
    On first launch
    SmartScreen asks once: More info, then Run anyway.
    Updates
    Checked against the SHA-512 hash in the release's update manifest before they install.

    Signing is optional on Windows and paid for every year: about $10 a month for Microsoft's Artifact Signing, or $150 to $300 a year for a certificate whose key lives on a hardware security module. It would not end the prompt either: SmartScreen flags a newly signed app too, until enough people have installed it.

    Microsoft on the options and their costs

  • macOS

    Signed and notarized
    Signature
    Developer ID Application certificate, with the hardened runtime on.
    On first launch
    Notarized by Apple; Gatekeeper reads the ticket stapled to the installer, even offline.
    Updates
    Installed only when signed by the same developer as the app already on your Mac.

    macOS only opens an app from the internet straight away when Apple can vouch for who made it. The certificate comes with the Apple Developer Program, $99 a year.

    The Apple Developer Program

  • Linux

    No signature needed
    Signature
    None. The AppImage and the Debian and Fedora packages are not GPG-signed.
    On first launch
    Nothing to confirm. Linux checks signatures on its own repositories' packages, not on files you download.
    Updates
    The AppImage checks each update against its SHA-512 hash before it installs.

    Linux asks for no signature on an app you download yourself, so there is nothing to buy and no prompt to get past.

Where it comes from

  • Repository

    The app's public home: its readme, its license, and the workflow that builds every installer and signs the Mac ones. The app is built from the WoRTool source, which is private.

  • Releases

    Every version with its notes and installers, and the place the app checks for its own updates.

    Something wrong with the app, or a question about your account or unit. Mention the version from the app's settings.
