Make room for Still.

One small installer. It sets Still up for your Windows account, updates an existing installation in place, and can remove everything again later.

Check it in PowerShell: Get-FileHash .\Still-Setup-*.exe

What you’ll need
  • Windows 10 version 2004 or later, or Windows 11 (x64), kept up to date
  • Windows PowerShell 5.1, .NET Framework 4.8 and the WebView2 Runtime (included with current Windows)
  • Administrator approval once, later, if you enable Windows protection
  • Chrome or Edge with the Still extension for website blocking and time limits
Domain-joined or MDM-managed PCs, and PCs that already use application-control rules, are intentionally refused so Still never changes an organisation’s security policy.

Still for Android: Where your attention went, with focus time for five tasks
Still for AndroidPreview

An early test build for Android 11 or newer: focus sessions, app and website blocking, daily limits, to-dos, history and alerts. It isn’t a finished release yet. After installing, follow the Android setup steps.

Still · Website focusChrome & Edge

The browser extension, free on the Chrome Web Store. It blocks websites, sets daily limits and a bedtime on its own, on any computer. For more control, use it with Still for Windows, where it becomes the browser companion. More about the extension.

Three calm minutes to get set up.

STEP 1

If Windows says it “protected your PC”.

Still isn’t code-signed yet, so Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may pause the installer the first time. That’s expected for new, unsigned apps.

  1. Choose More info.
  2. Check the app name says Still-Setup, then choose Run anyway.

Prefer to be sure? Compare the SHA-256 checksum above, or build it from source.

STEP 2

Choose Install Still.

Still Setup installs for your Windows account only, adds a Still Focus Start menu shortcut and, if you like, a desktop shortcut.

  • No administrator approval needed to install
  • Optionally open Still when you sign in
  • Already using the portable build? Your data carries over

STEP 3

Settle into focus.

Open Still from the Start menu. When you’re ready to block apps, choose Set up protection; Windows asks for administrator approval once to install Still Guard.

Updating

Run the newer setup. It detects the installed version, closes Still for a moment and replaces it, keeping your preferences, alerts, to-dos and history. Windows protection keeps running, and the browser companion refreshes itself within a minute.

Settings → Check for updates tells you when a new version is out. It only contacts GitHub when you click it.

Uninstalling

Windows Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Still. You can choose to also remove Still Guard (needs administrator approval, and isn’t possible during an active focus session) and your data.

Coming from the portable build?

Just run the installer; your data carries over. If you keep using a portable executable, leave it in a stable location when you enable launch at sign-in.

For developers

Build it yourself.

Still for Windows is written in Rust. You’ll need Rust with the Visual Studio C++ build tools.

git clone https://github.com/limpy183-dev/Still.git
cd Still
npm run build   # dist/Still-Setup-<version>.exe
