3. Tap Get.

Windows

You need Windows 10 or later. You don’t need administrator rights: Note installs for your Windows user only.

1. Open the Download Note page and click Download for Windows. It always gives you the latest version.

2. Open the downloaded file, NoteABA-Setup-latest.exe, from your browser’s downloads.

3. If Edge says the file isn’t commonly downloaded, click … next to it, then Keep, Show more and Keep anyway.

4. If Windows shows Windows protected your PC, click More info, then Run anyway.

   (These warnings appear because each new version of Note is new to Microsoft, not because something is wrong with the file. The installer is signed by Chorus Software Solutions LLC.)

5. Note installs and opens by itself. You’ll find it in the Start menu as Note ABA 3.0.

Mac

You need macOS 12 or later.

1. Open the Download Note page.
2. Click Apple silicon for a Mac with an M1 or newer chip, or Intel for an older Mac. Not sure? Open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac.
3. Open the downloaded file and drag Note ABA 3.0 into Applications.
4. Open Note from Applications or Launchpad.

The desktop app updates itself automatically. When Note is installed, sign in and set your PIN.

Install Note on managed computers

For IT teams. Note’s desktop app is a per-user Windows installer, signed by Chorus Software Solutions LLC. It doesn’t need administrator rights.

• Allow the download host: choruscdn.blob.core.windows.net. Installers and automatic updates both come from there.
• Edge SmartScreen: if your policy stops people from bypassing download warnings, add the installer to ExemptSmartScreenDownloadWarnings, or add the host above to your trusted sites.
• Silent install (for example, an Intune Win32 app): run the installer with /S.
• Network access: Note needs to reach app.chorus.cloud (data), auth.chorus.cloud (sign-in) and your organization’s Chorus site. Web filters on agency tablets and laptops need the same hosts allowed.
• Email: sign-up and password emails come from no_reply@chorus.cloud. Make sure your mail filters deliver them.

Keep Note up to date

New versions bring fixes and features, and your organization may require a minimum version. When an update is available, Note tells you and offers to open the store.

• iPhone and iPad: open the App Store, tap your profile picture, and tap Update next to Note ABA 3.0.
• Android: open Google Play, tap your profile picture, then Manage apps & device, and update Note.
• Mac and Windows: updates install automatically.
