You can download and install the Bron app directly from the user menu on the top right corner in the web version, or during the initial account creation process. Simply follow the provided link to start the installation. It only takes a few minutes to set up and ensures secure local access to your shards.
The Bron mobile apps can be downloaded from the Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android). On first launch, you’ll be guided through authenticating your device and provisioning local MPC key shards, just as on desktop.
If you install the Bron app on Mac, move the app to the Applications folder during the installation.
App Updates
The Bron app updates automatically. When a new version is available, you'll see a notification window the next time you open the app:
⚠️ You need administrator permissions to complete the installation.
You can also check for updates manually:
User icon (top right corner) → Check for updates
On mobile, updates are delivered through the App Store and Google Play. Enable automatic updates in your device settings to make sure you’re always on the latest version.
