@Dhanabhon Dhanabhon released this 30 Jun 06:43

FlowClone is a Tauri v2 desktop app for SSD migration on macOS — Image Migration (read a source SSD into a .flowimg) and Restore Image (write a .flowimg back onto a target SSD).

This release adds a first-run onboarding flow.

Download (macOS, Apple Silicon)

FlowClone_0.3.6_aarch64.dmg below — Apple Silicon (arm64) only. The app is unsigned (no Apple Developer ID / notarization), so macOS Gatekeeper blocks it on first launch. To install:

  1. Open the .dmg and drag FlowClone to Applications.
  2. Remove the download quarantine flag — one line in Terminal:
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/FlowClone.app
    
    Without this, a browser-downloaded unsigned app shows "FlowClone.app is damaged and can't be opened" on Apple Silicon. It is not damaged — that's just Gatekeeper refusing an unsigned, quarantined app.
  3. Open FlowClone (right-click → Open the first time if prompted).
  4. The new onboarding will guide you through granting Full Disk Access (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access → enable FlowClone, then quit and reopen).

Intel Macs: build from source (pnpm install && pnpm sidecar && pnpm tauri build).

Added

  • First-run onboarding. A short guided tour on first launch — Welcome → what
    FlowClone does → permissions → ready — that walks you through granting the
    access the app needs (macOS Full Disk Access, or a UAC note on Windows).
    It's skippable and can be reopened anytime from the toolbar (the ? button).
