OpenShelf 1.7.0

A hands-on tour, and Pandoc in one click.

New

• A hands-on tour. The first time OpenShelf opens, a guided tour teaches
  it by doing: practice files are made for you (a photo, Markdown notes, a PDF,
  a video and a letter), and each step shows the keys to press and waits until
  you've done it for real, from converting a photo and typesetting Markdown to
  trimming a video, using shelves and opening a wheel without dragging. Skip any
  step, or the whole tour; take it again or start over from the menu bar or
  Settings → General. It replaces the welcome window, and opens once after
  this update too, so you can try it (or choose Not Now).
• Install Pandoc from Settings. Settings → Extra Formats installs Pandoc
  in one click, like ffmpeg and LibreOffice: the official build from GitHub,
  checked against GitHub's checksum and Pandoc's code signature, installed
  for you alone with no administrator password. Remove it there too.

Install

1. Download OpenShelf-1.7.0.dmg below, open it and drag OpenShelf onto Applications.
2. Open OpenShelf from Applications. It lives in the menu bar (the wheel icon).
3. OpenShelf isn't notarized by Apple yet, so macOS asks once on first launch:
   • macOS 15 and later: click Done, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway.
   • macOS 14: right-click the app → Open → Open.
   • Or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OpenShelf.app

Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. See the README for how to use it.
