Technical Architecture
User Device
↓ (Outbound HTTPS • TLS 1.2+)
Anakrio Desktop App (Electron/Chromium runtime)
↓ (TCP port 443 only for HTTPS requests)
anakrio.com (Web + API endpoints)
↓
Backend services / databases / notification providers
Endpoints used (high-level):
• https://anakrio.com/api/...
• https://anakrio.com/assets/...
• https://cdn.onesignal.com/... (notifications)
Note: The exact /api routes depend on what actions you perform in the app (login, feed, messages, notifications, etc.).
All requests are made as standard HTTPS calls from the app to Anakrio services.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The installer is scanned via VirusTotal and currently shows
0 / 76 detections.

You can also verify file integrity using the SHA256 hash displayed above.
SmartScreen may appear for new software without a long reputation history.
If prompted:
1. Click More info
2. Click Run anyway
The installer is verified and scanned.
After downloading, you can compare the SHA256 hash of the file with the one displayed on this page.
This guarantees the file has not been modified.
Windows: Right-click the installer → Properties (or use PowerShell: Get-FileHash "Anakrio Setup.exe" -Algorithm SHA256) and compare the result.
A native macOS version is currently in development.
It will support Apple Silicon and include code signing & notarization.
Yes. The desktop version checks for updates and ensures you always run the latest secure release.
Updates are delivered from Anakrio’s official infrastructure and are verified before installation.
When you start the app for the first time, Windows may show a firewall prompt asking whether to allow it on
Private and/or Public networks.
What triggers the prompt (technical):
Windows Firewall can show this dialog when an application starts making network connections and does not yet have
an allow rule. This commonly happens when the app uses the Windows networking stack to create outbound connections
(e.g., TCP connections for HTTPS).
What the app uses network access for:
• Loading content securely from Anakrio
• Real-time notifications (push services)
• Encrypted session/authentication (HTTPS/TLS)
• Checking for updates
• Syncing your account state
110% clarity — what it does NOT mean:
• The app does not open inbound ports (it does not “listen” for strangers on the internet).
• It does not create a server on your PC.
• It does not enable remote access to your computer.
• It does not bypass Windows security.
Ports and traffic (technical):
• Normal app traffic is outbound HTTPS on TCP port 443 (encrypted).
• The app initiates outbound connections; nothing is accepting unsolicited inbound connections.
Private vs Public networks:
• Private = trusted networks (home/office Wi-Fi)
• Public = untrusted networks (airports/cafés/hotels)
If you are unsure, it is safe to allow the app on Private networks only.
