Install the app

Not a member yet? See how joining works: the download comes after your call with Penny. Degen Rehab runs on your desktop, next to your trading platform. Installing takes about two minutes. The only unusual step is a one-time Windows SmartScreen prompt, explained below. Mac installs show no warning.

Download

Installing comes after your onboarding call with Penny. Open the download link in the email she sends you after the call and pick your computer:

  • Mac with Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4 and newer). Not sure? Click the Apple menu → About This Mac. If the chip line says "Apple M…", this is you.
  • Mac with an Intel chip. Older Macs, roughly 2020 and earlier.
  • Windows 10 or 11.

The buttons always give you the newest version.

Install on Mac

  1. Open the downloaded .dmg file and drag Degen Rehab into your Applications folder.
  2. Open the app from Applications. It is signed and notarized with Apple, so it opens like any other Mac app with no security warning.
See a "damaged" or "cannot be opened" message? That usually means an incomplete download or a Mac whose date and time are wrong. Check the clock in System Settings, delete the app, and download it again. Details in Troubleshooting.

Install on Windows

  1. Run the downloaded installer.
  2. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway. This appears because the Windows app is not code-signed yet. The Mac app is signed and notarized and shows no warning.
  3. Click through the installer. The default location is fine.
  4. Launch Degen Rehab from the Start menu or the desktop shortcut.

First launch

The app asks for your computer's admin password once. It uses this to set up two protections that run in the background: the web-trading block and a small watchdog that keeps your lockouts honest if the app is closed. You will not be asked again unless the app updates those pieces.

You will also see a small round Degen Rehab badge floating on your screen. That is the trade-status badge. It is explained in Dashboard & the badge.

Updates. The app updates itself in the background on both Mac and Windows and asks you to restart when a new version is ready.
