Before you open it
Two things will happen,and both are expected
The Mac build is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarised by Apple, so it just opens. Windows is not code signed yet, so that one still shows a dialog.
macOS asks once, then opens it
Signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarised by Apple. On first launch macOS asks whether you are sure, the way it does for anything you download, and tells you Apple checked it and found nothing. Click Open. That is the only step, and it never asks again. If you would rather check than believe it, this asks Gatekeeper the same question macOS does:

Run the installer, choose More info, then Run anyway. It asks once and never again.
The full Windows guideWhat you get
This is the whole app
No tier is held back. The download is the product.
Requirements
macOS 11 or newer, or Windows 10 and 11 on x64. The on-device models want about 3GB of disk and 8GB of RAM, and they are optional: you can point HuddleOwl at a cloud model instead.
Updating
Download the new build and drag it over the old one. Your meetings live in a folder on your own disk and are untouched by an update.
Uninstalling
Delete the app and delete the data folder, which you can open from inside it. There is no account to close and no server holding a copy. Source of the installers.
