SpiceMac 0.1.1
Adds a prebuilt SpiceMac.app download alongside the source release. Apple Silicon, macOS 12+.
Download
Grab SpiceMac.app.zip below, unzip, and move SpiceMac.app to /Applications.
This build is ad-hoc signed, not Developer-ID-signed or notarized — Apple notarization needs a paid Apple Developer membership (US$99/yr) the project can't currently fund. It's safe to run; macOS just won't recognize the signer. Want signed + notarized builds? You can help fund the membership via the repo's Sponsor button. Prefer maximum trust? Build from source.
Opening it (Gatekeeper)
- macOS 14: right-click the app ▸ Open ▸ Open.
- macOS 15+: double-click once → Done, then System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Open Anyway.
- Terminal (either):
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/SpiceMac.app open /Applications/SpiceMac.app

Notes
- Bundles only the 26-framework LGPL/MIT/BSD/OpenSSL runtime closure — no GPL (no QEMU). The verbatim license texts + LGPL §6 written offer ship inside the app at
Contents/Resources/Licenses/. - OpenSSL 1.1.1w (fixes CVE-2022-0778); the rest is an older UTM sysroot — fine for personal use against trusted VMs (SECURITY.md).
