Free during beta · Windows 10/11 x64 · Works offline
System requirements
- Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit (x64)
- Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime (included with Windows 11; if it is missing, the installer downloads it, which needs an internet connection once during setup)
- Free disk space for your cases and working copies
- No account and no internet connection needed for core features
If Windows shows “Windows protected your PC”
ProofLedge is a new publisher. Even a signed installer can trigger Microsoft SmartScreen until enough people have installed it. The prompt is a reputation check, not a finding about the file.
- Click “More info”.
- Check the publisher. If this page lists the release as signed but the prompt says “Unknown publisher”, do not run the file: download it again from this page.
- Click “Run anyway”.
v0.2
What's new in 0.2
- Signed Case Packages: Ed25519 signature over the manifest, key fingerprint shown when verifying

- Wording similarity candidates for text, JSON/XML/HTML and Office documents

Verify what you downloaded
Current release
- Version
- Published
- Size
- Code signature
- SHA-256
When a release is published, its SHA-256 checksum is shown on this page. Compare it with the file you downloaded, for example with PowerShell:
Get-FileHash .\ProofLedge-setup-x64.exe -Algorithm SHA256
Or let PowerShell compare the file with the published checksum. It prints True when they match:
Check the code signature in PowerShell. Status should read Valid:
Get-AuthenticodeSignature .\ProofLedge-setup-x64.exe | Format-List Status, SignerCertificate
Signed builds show a digital signature under File Properties → Digital Signatures. If no signature is shown, the build is unsigned.
