First launch notes
Windows: if SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway. BowerBite is new, so Windows hasn't seen it before.
Mac: open the .dmg, drag BowerBite to Applications, then open it from Applications. If macOS says it can't check the app, click Done, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway. You only need to do this once. The first time BowerBite opens, it shows the Terms to accept.
Browser warning? Some browsers flag new downloads they haven't seen before. If yours blocks the file, open your downloads list and choose Keep, or download with a different browser.
Upgrading from SEEK? On Windows the installer replaces SEEK for you. On a Mac, once BowerBite opens you can drag SEEK from Applications to the Bin. Your projects and settings carry over.
BowerBite runs entirely on your computer. It only goes online to check your subscription now and then (it keeps working offline for up to 14 days), to download optional transcription and translation models the first time you choose them, and to check for updates when you ask.
