Nook 0.1.0 Beta 5 Pre-release

Pre-release

_{Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) · macOS 15 Sequoia or newer}
_{.zip instead · 110 MB · SHA-256 checksums · all releases}

Note

This is a beta: expect rough edges, and please report problems in Issues.

Install in three steps

Open Nook-0.1.0-beta.5-macOS.dmg and drag Nook onto Applications.
Allow the first launch. This build is not notarized by Apple yet, so macOS blocks it the first time ("Apple could not verify Nook is free of malware…"). That is expected, and you only do this once:
1. Open Nook from Applications. When macOS warns you, click Done (not "Move to Trash").
2. Open System Settings › Privacy & Security and scroll down to the Security section.
3. Next to "Nook" was blocked to protect your Mac, click Open Anyway.
4. Confirm with your password or Touch ID, then click Open Anyway once more.
Prefer Terminal? Run this once instead:
```
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Nook.app
```
Follow the setup. It walks you through what to allow, step by step, and marks what is optional: Nook works without contacts, the microphone and the rest of that list.

Good to know

Nook lives in your notch and the menu bar; there is no Dock icon.
This build does not include the Telegram bridge or the chat helper (Signal, Messenger, Instagram, X, LinkedIn); those apps stay on notifications.
Nook shows an Update button at the bottom of the panel when a newer signed release is out, and installs it with one click (Nook checks the signature first). Otherwise, download the next release.
