Install
Download and open the unsigned Thesivor build on macOS, Windows or Linux.
In short
Pick the file for your computer, then open it despite the operating system's warning — the preview build is not code-signed. macOS has the tested builds; the Windows and Linux files are previews and have not been launched by the vendor.
1Download the right file
- macOS, Apple silicon (M1 or later):
Thesivor-0.1.0-mac-arm64.dmg - macOS, Intel:
Thesivor-0.1.0-mac-x64.dmg - Windows 64-bit:
Thesivor-0.1.0-win-x64.exe(preview) - Linux:
Thesivor-0.1.0-linux-x86_64.AppImageorThesivor-0.1.0-linux-amd64.deb(preview)
2Open an unsigned build
macOS: drag Thesivor to Applications, then right-click (Control-click) it → Open → Open. If macOS says the app is damaged, run this once and open it again:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Thesivor.appOn recent macOS you may instead use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
Windows: run the installer. SmartScreen says "Windows protected your PC" → More info → Run anyway. The install is per-user and asks for no admin password.
Linux (AppImage): chmod +x Thesivor-0.1.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage then run it. If it does not start, install FUSE 2 or run with --appimage-extract-and-run.
Linux (.deb): sudo apt install ./Thesivor-0.1.0-linux-amd64.deb.
3Start the app
Launch Thesivor. The window opens on Home with the idea box. No account is required.
For technical users
The builds are unsigned: no Apple certificate, no notarisation, no Windows certificate. macOS and Windows therefore warn. The .dmg is 137,394,165 bytes in the recorded build; the unpacked app is about 442 MiB. On Linux the .deb installs to /opt/Thesivor and declares its libraries, including ALSA; the app was not launched on Ubuntu during the build (only installed and checked). A manual test checklist for Windows and Ubuntu is provided. The Windows and Linux launch paths are UNVERIFIED.
