One installer, zero prerequisites. It checks your machine, installs everything it needs, downloads Zinfai, and opens it in your browser. The database, backend and UI all run on your own computer.
The installer is not yet signed with an Apple Developer ID, so a plain double-click is blocked with "Apple could not verify…". Install it from Terminal in two steps instead.
sudo installer -pkg ~/Downloads/Zinfai-v1.0.6.pkg -target /
The installer also adds four apps to your Applications folder: Zinfai (start & open), Zinfai Update (fetch the latest version), Zinfai Setup (re-run or repair setup) and Uninstall Zinfai.
A single .exe with no prerequisites. It handles
everything Zinfai needs behind the scenes, including the reboot that is
sometimes required.

You get four Start-menu shortcuts: Open Zinfai, Update Zinfai, Zinfai Setup (repair) and Uninstall Zinfai. Every step of setup is retried and idempotent — if something goes wrong, run Zinfai Setup again and it picks up where it left off.
Zinfai shows an in-app banner when a newer version is published. On Mac, run Zinfai Update from your Applications folder; on Windows, Update Zinfai from the Start menu. Migrations run automatically on the next boot and your zinfai-data volume is untouched, so nothing is lost. You do not need to download a new installer to update.
| Platform | Minimum | Needs | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| macOS | macOS 11 Big Sur | Apple Silicon or Intel, 8 GB RAM, ~4 GB free disk | Installs everything it needs if it isn't already there |
| Windows | Windows 10 build 19041 (2004) or Windows 11 | 64-bit, virtualization enabled, 8 GB RAM, ~6 GB free disk | May require one restart during setup |
An internet connection is needed to download the app and to refresh prices, FX rates and market data. Everything else — your holdings, transactions, statements and plans — stays on your machine.
The read-only pocket view of your portfolio. It needs a Zinfai backup export to work — there's no way to enter data in the app itself.
Installing an APK outside the Play Store requires allowing "Install unknown apps" for your browser. Full instructions are on the Zinfai Buddy page.
Installers are only available to registered users with a verified email address. Create a free account — or sign in with Google, which is verified automatically — and the buttons switch to real downloads. If you registered with an email and password, click the link in the confirmation message we sent you first; it often lands in spam.
That's Gatekeeper — the installer isn't signed with an Apple Developer ID yet. Use the Terminal command in Installing on macOS above, which installs the same package without the double-click block.
Click More info, then Run anyway. SmartScreen flags any installer it hasn't seen many times before; the file you downloaded from this page came straight from our release pipeline.
Something else on your machine owns that port. Quit whatever is using it and start Zinfai again — Zinfai on Mac, Open Zinfai on Windows. If you need Zinfai on a different port permanently, email support@zinfai.com and we'll send you the one-line change.
The first boot runs database migrations and seeds master data, which can take a minute or two on slower machines. Give it a moment and refresh. If it still doesn't come up, run Zinfai Setup (Mac) or Zinfai Setup (repair) (Windows) — it re-checks every step and restarts the app.
Zinfai's container runtime needs hardware virtualization, which some machines ship with turned off. Reboot into your BIOS/UEFI settings and enable Intel VT-x or AMD-V (often listed under CPU, Advanced or Security), then run Zinfai Setup (repair) again.
macOS: run Uninstall Zinfai from your Applications folder. Windows: use Uninstall Zinfai in the Start menu or Add/Remove Programs. Both ask before deleting your data — the default is to keep it, so reinstalling restores everything — and they only remove the container runtime if the Zinfai installer was the one that put it there.
