O.R.A
Your room on O.R.A is ready.
Two steps: get the app, then connect. Already have O.R.A? Skip to step two.

Install the app and open it. When it asks for your invite link, paste the room link from your message. Do not open that room link in a browser — it belongs in the app.

This invite link is incomplete.
Part of the link is missing. Copy the whole link from the message you received and try again, or ask the person who runs your House for a fresh one.
Installing O.R.A on a Mac
O.R.A is signed and checked by Apple, so your Mac will simply open it. Three steps:
- Open the file you just downloaded. A window opens with the O.R.A icon in it.
- Drag the O.R.A icon onto the Applications folder beside it.
- Open O.R.A from Applications. The first open takes a few seconds while your Mac checks it.
You can throw the downloaded file away afterwards. O.R.A lives in Applications now, and it keeps itself up to date.
First time opening O.R.A on Windows
Windows may say it protected your PC. That is expected: O.R.A is not in the Microsoft store.
- Press More info.
- Press Run anyway.
This happens once. No admin password is needed.

This invite works once and expires. If it has expired, ask the person who runs your House for a fresh link.
Where things live: files O.R.A makes go straight to your computer. Your conversations stay in your room, on the House, so O.R.A can keep working while your laptop is shut.
Your room is locked with the passphrase you were sent. That one was set for you, so the first thing your room asks is to replace it with one only you know. Nobody else ever sees the new one.
