Howler icon

Burn after reading.

Howler now has a face of its own. A matte crimson seal is cut with an H. Beside it rests the raven quill that just wrote it, with a spark at the nib. The parchment burns up from below onto charred ground.

What's new

  • App icon. Finder, the Dock and the disk image show Howler's seal and quill instead of a blank icon. It is drawn in code with the same paper, wax and fire as the letter, and made for macOS 26 so it isn't placed on a gray plate.
  • Menu bar mark. The envelope is replaced by a small wax seal with the H cut through. It takes the menu bar's color, and the same seal sits beside Open Howler in the menu.
  • Disk image. Every release now ships Howler.dmg alongside Howler.zip. Open it and drag Howler onto Applications.
  • One Howler in the app list. Local builds no longer leave a second copy for Spotlight to find.

Install

Download Howler.dmg below, open it, and drag Howler onto Applications. Howler.zip holds the same app. The app is ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so the first time, right-click it and choose Open. On macOS 15 or later, use System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway. You can also run:

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

Requires macOS 14 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. Upgrading from v0.1.2 keeps your model setup and API key.

Known limitations

  • Because the app is ad-hoc signed, macOS may ask for Keychain access again after an update, and screen-capture permission has to be granted again.
