macOS Installation
Installation guide for macOS Catalina (10.15) and newer.
Kable Launcher provides a native macOS experience through our DMG installer. The installation process follows standard macOS conventions.
Download the DMG Visit the Releases page and download the
.dmg file for macOS. The file is compatible with both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.Install the Application Double-click the downloaded DMG file to mount it. A window will open showing the Kable Launcher icon. Drag the app icon to your Applications folder to install it.
Handle Gatekeeper macOS Gatekeeper will block the first launch because Kable is not signed with an Apple Developer certificate. Right-click (or Control-click) the Kable app in Applications, select 'Open', and confirm that you want to open it. You only need to do this once.
Launch and Enjoy After the first launch, you can open Kable normally from your Applications folder or Launchpad. The launcher provides full macOS integration including native menus and keyboard shortcuts.
