  1. 1

    Download the installer

    Both installers are for Windows and install the same app — pick whichever you prefer. The file saves to your Downloads folder.

  2. 2

    Verify the download (optional)

    Confirm the file wasn't corrupted or altered. In PowerShell, from your Downloads folder, run the command for the file you downloaded and compare the hash it prints:

    Flashpage_1.0.0_x64_en-US.msi

    Get-FileHash .\Flashpage_1.0.0_x64_en-US.msi -Algorithm SHA256

    Also published as Flashpage_1.0.0_x64_en-US.msi.sha256 (works with sha256sum -c).

    Flashpage_1.0.0_x64-setup.exe

  3. 3

    Run the installer

    Double-click the installer you downloaded and follow the prompts. Because the installer isn't code-signed yet, Windows SmartScreen may show “Windows protected your PC” — choose More info, then Run anyway.

    Only bypass SmartScreen for files you downloaded from flash-page.com — ideally after checking the SHA-256 in step 2.

  4. 4

    Open Flashpage and write

    Launch Flashpage from the Start menu. Create your first page with New note or Ctrl + N. Your pages are saved as Markdown files in %APPDATA%\com.flashpages.app.

Troubleshooting

If something goes wrong

Still stuck? Get in touch — include your Windows version or Linux distribution and what you see.

Windows says “Windows protected your PC”Windows
The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may warn about an unrecognised app. If you downloaded it from this page (and the checksum matches), choose More info → Run anyway.
My browser flags the download
Some browsers flag uncommon installer files. Keep the file, then verify its SHA-256 checksum before running it. Only download Flashpage from flash-page.com.
Flashpage opens to a blank window on WindowsWindows
Flashpage renders through Microsoft Edge WebView2, which ships with Windows 10 and 11. If it has been removed, install the Evergreen WebView2 Runtime from Microsoft (opens in a new tab) and reopen Flashpage.
apt or dnf says it can’t find libwebkit2gtk-4.1Linux
Flashpageneeds WebKitGTK 4.1, which older distributions don't ship. Update to a current release of your distribution (for example a recent Ubuntu LTS, Debian or Fedora) and install the package again.
apt prints “Download is performed unsandboxed as root”Linux
That notice is harmless: apt can't sandbox a file that lives in your home folder. The install still completes. Moving the .deb to /tmp first makes it go away.
The window is blank or glitchy on LinuxLinux
Some graphics drivers (notably NVIDIA, especially under Wayland) don't get along with WebKitGTK's hardware rendering. Try launching with WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 flashpage. If that helps, please let us know your distribution and GPU.
Where are my notes stored?
On Windows in %APPDATA%\com.flashpages.app, on Linux in ~/.local/share/com.flashpages.app — one .md file per page in notes/, with images and media in notes/assets/. See Where notes live.
