NotchMindThe release guide is not available yet.
Public downloads have not opened. We will publish instructions and screenshots matched to the verified build, including its macOS first-launch messages, on this page.
Check the download page for availability. Do not use a lookalike site or an unverified mirror.
Check your Mac.
The planned target is an Apple-silicon Mac running macOS 15 or later. The release page will list the chip, operating system and display configurations actually tested.
Once a release is available, open the downloaded disk image and move NotchMind to Applications. Open the app from Applications, rather than from the disk image.
Know what you are opening.
The current distribution approach is ad-hoc signed and not notarized by Apple. macOS may block the first launch. Read the warning carefully and use only Apple’s per-app approval path for a download you trust.
A release-specific walkthrough will explain when System Settings → Privacy & Security offers “Open Anyway.” Exact wording can vary by macOS version. Managed Macs may not allow this installation path.
Do not turn off Gatekeeper, remove quarantine attributes with Terminal commands, or ignore a warning that the app contains malware or will damage your computer. Stop and contact support instead.
Apple’s guidance for opening an app from an unidentified developer ↗
Choose permissions, feature by feature.
Grant only the permissions needed for the features you choose. Calendar access is needed for calendar information. Other features can have their own requirements. Denying a permission can limit that feature; it is not a reason to grant unrelated access.
You can review app permissions later in System Settings. The public guide will include the permission choices for its specific release.
Start with the local tools.
Explore supported clipboard actions and the File Shelf first. Smart Mode starts off. Review the data disclosure before enabling it.
If a feature is missing, check its setting, permission and release notes. If the first-launch message differs from the guide, contact support with your macOS version and a redacted screenshot.
