  • If you installed 0.1.1, download this release by hand. 0.1.1 looks for updates in a file that
    releases no longer publish, so it will not offer this one.
  • A panel whose data arrives just as its loading placeholder is due no longer flashes: it used to
    draw, vanish behind the placeholder and draw again, replaying its entrance and losing keyboard
    focus. And a loading placeholder, once shown, now gives way after 350 ms instead of 400.

Opening Flywheel for the first time (this build is not signed)

Flywheel is not signed with an Apple Developer ID and is not notarized, so macOS blocks the app the first time you open it.

If you downloaded the .dmg in a browser, macOS says that "Flywheel.app is damaged and can't be opened" and offers only Move to Trash and Cancel. The app is not damaged. There is no Open button, so right-click and Open does not help.

To open it:

  1. Drag Flywheel.app from the .dmg into /Applications.

  2. In Terminal, remove the quarantine mark that your browser put on the download:

    xattr -cr /Applications/Flywheel.app
  3. Open Flywheel as usual.

Only do this for a build you downloaded from this repository's releases page. The command removes a macOS safety check for that one app.

This was observed on one Mac (macOS 26). Other macOS versions may word the dialog differently.
