Align 0.1.0 — macOS, Windows, Fedora & Omarchy

Align synchronizes camera footage and separately recorded audio using waveform matching, timecode, and recording metadata.

This release includes macOS Apple Silicon (macOS 15+), Windows 10/11 x64, Fedora x86_64, and Omarchy / Arch Linux x86_64 installers. It is an early release; review synchronized groups and exported timelines before using them in an edit.

Install

1. Download Align-0.1.0-macOS-arm64.dmg.
2. Open it and drag Align to Applications.
3. Launch Align from Applications.

The app includes FFmpeg, ffprobe, the AAF module, the CLI, and the MCP server. No separate Python installation is needed. Export options include Premiere Pro XML, Final Cut Pro FCPXML, DaVinci Resolve workflows, and linked AAF. See the user guide and format limits.

macOS security message

The app is ad-hoc signed, not Developer ID signed or notarized. If macOS says the app is damaged, first move it to /Applications. For a copy downloaded from this release, remove the quarantine flag and open it:

sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Align.app"
open "/Applications/Align.app"

Sources and verification

align-source-macOS.tar.gz contains the corresponding Align source, locked and vendored Rust dependencies, FFmpeg and AAF/runtime sources, build instructions, and a build manifest. Licenses and dependency notices are also included inside Align.app/Contents/Resources. Align is licensed under GPL-3.0-only.

The .sha256 files accompany both downloads. Verify them from the download directory:

shasum -a 256 -c Align-0.1.0-macOS-arm64.dmg.sha256
shasum -a 256 -c align-source-macOS.tar.gz.sha256

Validated on macOS Apple Silicon: 350 Rust tests, 10 AAF tests, 3 source-packaging checks, 8 end-to-end synchronization/export checks, application launch, bundle signature, and DMG integrity. Intel Mac installers are not included.

Windows, Fedora and Omarchy installers

• Windows: run Align-0.1.0-Windows-x64-Setup.exe. Installs for the current user and bootstraps the Microsoft VC++ runtime if needed. The installer is unsigned.
• Fedora: run chmod +x Align-0.1.0-Fedora-x86_64-Setup.run and then ./Align-0.1.0-Fedora-x86_64-Setup.run, or install the separate RPM with sudo dnf install ./Align-0.1.0-Fedora-x86_64.rpm.
• Omarchy / Arch: run chmod +x Align-0.1.0-Omarchy-x86_64-Setup.run and then ./Align-0.1.0-Omarchy-x86_64-Setup.run, or use sudo pacman -U ./align-0.1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.

The Linux graphical installers use Align's dark theme and the system authorization prompt. Run them as your ordinary user. GTK4 and polkit are needed for the graphical installer. Linux requires glibc 2.39+ and a working Vulkan driver. Keep Omarchy / Arch current before installing. Each .run contains the corresponding native package; choose one installation method. Native Linux packages are updated by installing a newer package, rather than through Velopack.

These builds include the GUI, CLI, MCP server, AAF module, FFmpeg and ffprobe. No separate Python installation is needed.

Validation: Fedora 44 package installation/reinstallation, dependency and integrity checks, and installer rendering passed. All eight Linux synchronization/export checks passed. On Arch, pacman installation, integrity of all 2077 installed files, installer rendering, and all eight synchronization/export checks passed. Windows installation and installed binary hashes were checked under CrossOver; seven initial end-to-end checks and the remaining lifecycle check after the Windows file-URL fix passed, along with 53 export tests.

GUI validation limitation: full application rendering has not been verified on native Windows or a real Omarchy/Hyprland desktop. CrossOver lacks the Windows system icuuc.dll needed by the GUI. These are early builds; the successful CLI checks do not establish complete desktop compatibility.

Corresponding sources: Align-0.1.0-Local-Sources.tar.gz contains the source snapshot, vendored dependencies and component sources for the added Windows/Linux binaries. Align-0.1.0-Omarchy-Packaging.tar.gz adds the Omarchy packaging scripts, exact PKGBUILD and payload. These local builds include changes beyond the original macOS tag; use these attached source bundles to reproduce them, rather than GitHub's automatically generated tag archive. SHA-256 files accompany every installer and source archive. See README.txt, README-Omarchy.txt, Verification.json and Omarchy-Verification.json for installation instructions and check results.
