Installing the Windows app

Barzaman for Windows is the full app on your PC: the same features as on Android, reminders that arrive as Windows notifications even when the window is closed, and offline use for as long as you like.

Requirements: Windows 10 (version 1809 or later) or Windows 11, 64-bit (x64).

1. Install

Download the EXE setup from the download page and run it. The short wizard is in Persian or English; install just for you (no admin rights) or for all users, with an optional desktop shortcut and Start with Windows.

Installed for just you, Barzaman goes to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Barzaman; for all users, to C:\Program Files\Barzaman.

Silent install for the current user: barzaman-windows-1.1.0-x64.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES. For all users, run in an administrator prompt:

barzaman-windows-1.1.0-x64.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /ALLUSERS

2. Check the download (SHA-256)

The download page lists a SHA-256 checksum for each file. Checking it proves the file is exactly the one we published.

Open PowerShell in your Downloads folder (in File Explorer: right-click → Open in Terminal).
Run (use the name of the file you downloaded):

Get-FileHash .\barzaman-windows-1.1.0-x64.exe -Algorithm SHA256

Compare the long Hash value with the one on the download page. Letter case doesn’t matter. If they differ, don’t run the file — download it again from barzaman.ir.

certutil -hashfile <file> SHA256 in Command Prompt works too.

3. Get past SmartScreen

Our installers are not code-signed yet, so Windows may show “Windows protected your PC”. After checking the checksum:

Click More info.
Check that the file name is right, then click Run anyway.

Your browser may also ask whether to keep the file — choose Keep. Only do this for files downloaded from barzaman.ir whose checksum matches.

4. First start

Open Barzaman from the Start menu. A short intro tour shows the main features — skip it whenever you like. Your data is saved on this PC from the start; signing in is optional and only needed to sync with your other devices (create an account).

Reminders on Windows

Reminders appear as Windows notifications, with Done, Snooze and Skip buttons — even after you close the window.
Each time it runs, Barzaman hands Windows the reminders for the next two weeks. If you rarely open it, right-click the Barzaman icon in the notification area (next to the clock) and turn on Start with Windows.
The same menu has Keep running in the background when closed, Open Barzaman and Quit Barzaman.
If notifications don’t appear, check Settings → System → Notifications in Windows: notifications must be on for Barzaman, and Do not disturb or Focus must be off.

Where your data lives

Your data is stored encrypted in %APPDATA%\Barzaman (that is, C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\Barzaman), together with your attachments. Make regular backups, or sign in to sync.

Updating

Download the new version from the download page and run it — preferably the same kind of installer you used before. Your data stays where it is.

Uninstalling

Open Windows Settings → Apps → Installed apps, find Barzaman and choose Uninstall. Your data folder is kept, so a reinstall finds everything again. To remove your data too, delete the %APPDATA%\Barzaman folder afterwards — back it up first if you might need it.
