Per-user — no admin prompt.
Adds Start Menu and desktop shortcuts, and lets you pick the install folder. Installed copies update themselves in the background.

Dispatch v0.1.16
A Windows desktop build. The installer below is the one to want: it keeps itself up to date without ever restarting your terminals.
Releases are private while Dispatch is in early access. The build pipeline publishes every release automatically, but the feed isn't public yet, so there is nothing here to click. Leave an address below and you'll get a link when it opens.
01
The SmartScreen prompt, in advance
The installer is unsigned, so the first launch shows Windows' “Windows protected your PC” dialog. Click More info → Run anyway.
Silencing that permanently requires a paid Authenticode certificate, which is on the list for before anyone is charged real money — an EV certificate is what makes the warning stop immediately. Until then this page says so rather than letting you find out at the dialog.
02
Updates that never kill a running command
An installed copy checks twenty seconds after launch and every four hours after that, downloads in the background, and then waits.
It never restarts itself
This app is full of live terminals, and an update is not a good enough reason to kill a running command. The swap happens the next time you quit.
The version line is the button
The line at the bottom of the sidebar becomes “Update to v… — restart” when one is staged. Click it to restart now and it tells you how many terminals that closes first.
It says why it's off
A checkout run from source isn't packaged, so there is nothing to hand a download to. The version line explains itself rather than sitting there inert.
