What's new

Install via Homebrew

macOS users can now install and upgrade with Homebrew:

brew install --cask jaxton07/tap/pi-desktop

The cask is updated automatically on every release. Apps installed through Homebrew don't carry the quarantine attribute, so they open right away despite the ad-hoc signature — no Gatekeeper workaround needed. Future upgrades are just brew upgrade.

Manual-download fallback for unsigned mac builds

macOS can no longer strand you on a broken auto-install. Because ad-hoc signed builds fail Squirrel's code-signature check during quitAndInstall (the update would silently never apply), the app now detects its signature at startup and adapts:

  • Unsigned/ad-hoc builds: clicking the update button or "Check for updates" takes you straight to the GitHub release page to download the new version manually
  • Builds that can self-install (Windows, and future properly signed mac builds): the in-app download progress and "Restart" pill flow is unchanged

Download

Platform File
macOS (Apple Silicon) pi-desktop-mac-arm64.dmg
macOS (Intel) pi-desktop-mac-x64.dmg
Windows pi-desktop-windows-x64.exe (installer) or pi-desktop-windows-x64.zip

macOS users can also brew install --cask jaxton07/tap/pi-desktop.

Ad-hoc signed (no Developer ID). On macOS, if Gatekeeper blocks the app, right-click it and choose Open (or run xattr -cr "/Applications/Pi Desktop.app" as a fallback). Windows may still show a SmartScreen prompt — click "More info" → "Run anyway".
