Announcement

We originally targeted this app for elementary OS and also released it on Flathub after some time, but we decided to publish the app only on Flathub since version 2.0.0. We no longer publish new features or bug fixes to the elementary-curated version of the app.

This does not mean the app no longer available on elementary OS. You can simply switch to the Flathub version of the app; please uninstall the current installation and then re-install the app from Flathub.
