Verify your download

SHA256SUMS.txt below lists the hash of every artifact in this release.
How to check it, how release binaries are signed, and who approves a
signing request: Code signing & verification.

macOS

Download the .dmg for your Mac from the Assets below — …-macos-arm64.dmg
for Apple Silicon, …-macos-x86_64.dmg for Intel — open it, and drag
YazSes.app into Applications.

Not sure which? Run uname -m in Terminal. If no Intel .dmg is attached,
that build did not succeed for this release; pipx install yazses works on
both architectures.

On first launch, right-click → Open (this build is not code-signed
yet — verify it with the attestation linked above instead). Grant
Accessibility + Microphone when prompted.
Default hotkey: Right Option. Full guide: docs/macos-install.md.

Windows

Download the .exe for your machine from the Assets below —
…-windows-x64.exe for an Intel or AMD PC, …-windows-arm64.exe for an
ARM one (Snapdragon, Surface Pro X and similar).

Not sure which? Settings → System → About → System type. The x64
installer also runs on ARM under emulation, so it is the safe choice if in
doubt; the native build is faster. If no ARM .exe is attached, that build
did not succeed for this release — use the x64 one.

SmartScreen may say "unrecognized app" — click More info → Run anyway
(this build is not code-signed yet — verify it with the attestation linked
above instead). Default hotkey: Right Ctrl. Full guide:
docs/windows-install.md.
