That’s a valid concern, but Pakkly has never and never will modify your app. It will be installed exactly as-is, with a proxy launcher to facilitate updates. I’m also working on getting that launcher PGP signed so you can verify it’s from us.

Realistically, are you able to make that promise? In practice that would mean you could never sell the company, because current promises go out the window in that scenario (see every company acquired by Facebook).
