Just one download to get started. The AE plugin installs, updates, and uninstalls from inside the app itself.
Download the App
Download and install the After Bite desktop app for your OS. That's the only file you need.
Install the Plugin
Open the app and install the AE plugin from inside it, one click, no separate download.
Manage Anytime
Update or remove the plugin from the same app whenever you want. No manual file hunting.
About the security warning on first install
- This is an alpha build, so it isn't signed yet. Windows may show a warning the first time you open it.
- Click "More info" then "Run anyway" to proceed.
- If you'd rather not run unsigned software during alpha testing, that's completely understandable, no pressure to install.
