Install
Section titled “Install”- From the official download page, download the
mac-arm64.dmgormac-x64.dmgidentified above. - Double-click the DMG and wait for its installation window to open.
- Drag Wordless into Applications.
- Wait for the copy to finish, eject the DMG, and open Wordless from Applications. Do not keep running it from the DMG window.
- Because test builds are not notarized with an Apple Developer ID, macOS may say it cannot verify the developer. In Finder, Control-click Wordless in Applications and choose Open; alternatively, use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway for the blocked Wordless launch.
- Confirm this only for a package from the official download page or
download.wordless.20250230.xyz. Do not disable Gatekeeper or globally lower macOS security.
- From the official download page, download
Wordless-<version>-win-x64.exe. - Run the installer, choose an installation folder, and complete the wizard.

Installation problems

- macOS says the app is damaged: remove the app and DMG, then download the correct architecture from the official download page again. Do not bypass integrity checks.
- The app opens to a blank window: verify that you installed the latest package. If it persists, include the OS, chip, and Wordless versions in a GitHub issue.
- The Windows installer does not run: verify that the system type is x64 and download the
.exefrom the official download page again. - Upgrading: open the official download page, quit Wordless, and install the new package. Unsigned macOS test builds may require manually replacing the old app in Applications.
