✨ New in v9.5.0 — meet Sally, your built-in guide

SallyDev now has an assistant that explains how to use SallyDev. Click 💬 Ask Sally in the top-right corner (or press F1) and ask in plain English — “how do I find grants my corps is eligible for?”, “why is my draft full of blanks?”, “what should I do next?”. She knows every tab and button, and she can see how far you've got, so she answers for your situation instead of reciting a manual: if your Knowledge Base is empty or a deadline has slipped past, she'll say so first.

Sally works before you've set anything up — including the very first question most people have, which is which AI provider to choose. Her window stays open beside the app while you follow along, and she never submits anything on your behalf; she explains, you decide.

From v9.4.4: installing an update over a running copy of SallyDev used to stall and never complete: Windows won't let anything replace SallyDev.exe while it's open, so the installer stopped partway with DeleteFile failed; code 5. The installer now finds SallyDev itself, closes it for you first (your work is saved on the way out) and carries on — and if it truly can't close it, it says so in plain English instead of failing with a Windows error code. The in-app update prompt also offers to close SallyDev as soon as the download starts. Updating from 9.4.1, 9.4.2 or 9.4.3 works from here on.

From v9.4.2: Settings now has a Check for updates button, so you can ask for the latest version any time instead of waiting for the automatic check at launch. It tells you either way — you're up to date, a new version is out, or the update server couldn't be reached — and it un-skips a version you'd previously chosen to skip.

From v9.4.1: a full UX audit drove 40+ improvements — results sort correctly by win-probability, a free AI provider works out of the box, finished drafts are previewed before saving, deletes ask first, the trial shows days-left, keyboard focus is visible, and the capital model explains every input and shows its chart on screen. SallyDev also tells you automatically when a new version is available.

Plus (from v9.3): SallyDev fetches the funder's RFP for you — automatically for Grants.gov, or paste any funder's RFP link/file — and writes your draft to match it, from your real Knowledge Base, never invented.

Installer Recommended

Full setup with Start-menu & desktop shortcuts and an uninstaller. Run it, click through, done.

Already have SallyDev? Install straight over it — your license, settings and pipeline are kept. If SallyDev is open, the installer will offer to close it first; that's required, because Windows can't replace a running program.

Portable No install

Single self-contained .exe — no install, no Python needed. Copy it anywhere and double-click.

🔏 Signed by 0XPI

Both downloads are digitally signed (Authenticode, timestamped) as 0XPI — so you can confirm the file is genuine and unmodified.

Because the signing certificate is organization-issued rather than from a public certificate authority, Windows SmartScreen may still show a warning on first run: click More info → Run anyway.

For IT / managed machines: import the certificate once (into Trusted Publishers, via Group Policy or a one-time install) and the warning disappears fleet-wide. Download the certificate (.cer)
