conakeWELCOME TO YOUR NEXT CHAPTER
Your first arc.
Start here.
A short guide to installing Conake, choosing the right sign-in and making the browser yours.
Setup links are built into desktop v0.1.20 and Chromebook Preview 04. This web guide also works before you install.
01
GET READY
A good place to start.
Open the download center and choose the installer for your computer.
Other x86_64 desktops · AppImage
Choose an installer under the release's Assets. “Source code” and “Download ZIP” contain the download website, not the installed app. Close Conake before updating.
The separate Android edition is for supported Chromebooks with Android app support, ADB sideloading and an internet connection.

Chromebook only. Opening this APK on a phone can trigger a 48-hour public-IP ban, including other devices sharing the network. Device detection can be inaccurate. The verification service receives your public IP and device category; it does not receive your browsing addresses.
You can register and manage names in any modern browser. To open a .conake address, use desktop v0.1.19 or newer, or Chromebook Preview 03 or newer.
Publish an HTTPS website first. A Conake™ name is an alias to that website; it does not include hosting, public DNS ownership or Tor anonymity.
02
PICK YOUR SIGN-IN
Two accounts. Clear purposes.
Desktop profile
Created inside the desktop app. Your email-format ID is a local label; it is not verified or sent to Conake.
- Encrypts bookmarks, history, settings and saved app data.
- Needs the password you made on this computer.
- No cloud sync or password reset. Keep the password safe.
Conake™ account
Use a Conake™ username and password to register and manage your .conake names online.
- Existing Conake™ Names logins still work.
- Save the private recovery code when creating the account.
- Choose a session-only sign-in or stay signed in for 7 days.
The Chromebook preview keeps saved lists encrypted on the device with an Android Keystore key. It does not require a desktop profile. Its Conake™ account link opens the online Names account; it does not lock or sync the whole app.
The Extension Store currently has its own creator account. Signing in to Names does not unlock your desktop profile or automatically sign you into the Store.
Forgot a password?
Online Names account: choose Recover on the account page and enter your private recovery code. A new password and code replace the old ones. Without the password or recovery code, access cannot currently be restored.
Desktop profile: the password protects the encryption key, so it cannot be reset online. Creating another profile does not unlock the old one. Keep the old profile and password; do not delete app data to troubleshoot a login.
03
MAKE IT YOURS
Your browser. Your scene.
Open Settings → New tab & wallpapers for bundled scenes, darkness, blur and shuffle. Appearance has five color themes. Search & fullscreen lets you choose Google, DuckDuckGo or Bing.
Drag tabs to reorder them. Open Tab Studio to rename, color or pin a tab. Right-click a page—or use a two-finger trackpad click—for copy, paste, link and image options.
Choose Wallpaper Studio on the new-tab page, or open the browser menu and choose Settings. Edit quick links on your daily orbit, then try tab rename, pin and reorder tools.
Search for a name, sign in with Conake, and connect it to a public HTTPS website you control. Names use 3–32 letters, numbers or hyphens. Start and end with a letter or number.
Use Your names to change a destination or pause a name. Pausing stops new lookups and keeps ownership. Already-open sites stay open.
04
TAKE YOUR FIRST LAP
A few things to try.
Find your way.
Type studio.conake, register.conake or account.conake in an updated Conake address bar. The real HTTPS destination stays visible.
Take the whole screen.
Use F11, or Control+Command+F on Mac. Escape leaves browser fullscreen; Ctrl/Command+L brings back the address bar.
One more run.
Open Snake Run from a new tab. Desktop play works offline. The Chromebook app still needs its internet verification check to open.
Desktop extensions currently support Conake's JavaScript and CSS content-script format. Review source and site access before installing. Arbitrary Chrome Web Store / CRX packages and desktop extensions in the Chromebook edition are not supported.
