Installation

Download (recommended)

1. Grab the latest .dmg from Releases
2. Open the DMG and drag iQualize to the Applications folder
3. Launch iQualize from Applications

macOS blocks the app?

iQualize is unsigned — Apple charges $99/year for a developer certificate. If macOS says the app "can't be opened," run this in Terminal:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/iQualize.app

Or: right-click iQualize in Applications → Open → click Open in the dialog.

Build from source

Requires Xcode command line tools and Swift 5.9+.

git clone https://github.com/DariusCorvus/iqualize.git
cd iqualize
bash install.sh          # builds, signs, installs to /Applications
open /Applications/iQualize.app

install.sh builds with Swift Package Manager, codesigns with your Apple Development certificate (for stable TCC permissions across rebuilds), and copies the app bundle to /Applications.

Permissions

On first launch, macOS will ask for Screen & System Audio Recording permission. This is required for Core Audio Taps to capture system audio. Grant the permission and restart the app if needed.

Updating

Download the new .dmg from Releases, drag to Applications (replace the existing app), and run the quarantine removal command again if needed.
