Install Wordless

Installers are distributed only from the official download page. The file links are the same ones used by Download on the website, served from download.wordless.20250230.xyz:

The page lists the current Apple Silicon, Intel Mac, and Windows x64 packages. Click the matching row to download. Do not install a copy forwarded through chat, a file host, or another website.

Your device How to check Download this file
Apple Silicon Mac (M1, M2, M3, M4, and later) Apple menu → About This Mac shows an Apple M-series chip Wordless-<version>-mac-arm64.dmg
Intel Mac Apple menu → About This Mac shows an Intel processor Wordless-<version>-mac-x64.dmg
Typical Windows 10/11 PC Settings → System → About shows an x64 system type Wordless-<version>-win-x64.exe
Windows on ARM System type shows ARM64 No native package is currently available; do not install the x64 build

macOS currently requires macOS 13 or later. Windows currently has an x64-only installer. The version number changes between releases; identify the package by the platform and architecture at the end of the filename.

  1. From the official download page, download the mac-arm64.dmg or mac-x64.dmg identified above.
  2. Double-click the DMG and wait for its installation window to open.
  3. Drag Wordless into Applications.
  4. Wait for the copy to finish, eject the DMG, and open Wordless from Applications. Do not keep running it from the DMG window.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

A successful launch shows the Wordless workbench rather than a persistent blank window. Open Settings → About & Updates and verify that the version matches the package you just downloaded.

  • macOS cannot verify the developer: use Control-click → Open or Privacy & Security → Open Anyway as described above. This is expected for the current unnotarized test build.
  • 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 .exe from 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.
