Windows: run the NSIS installer (.exe). SmartScreen may warn — choose More info → Run anyway.
macOS: see below — one extra step is required.

macOS: "Tellnova is damaged and can't be opened"

This build is not yet notarized by Apple (no Apple Developer account yet),
so Gatekeeper shows a scary-but-wrong "damaged" message on first launch. The
download is fine. To open it:

  1. Drag Tellnova from the DMG into Applications.

  2. In Terminal, run:

    xattr -cr /Applications/Tellnova.app

  3. Still blocked on Apple Silicon? Add a local ad-hoc signature:

    codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Tellnova.app

  4. Launch normally. This is a one-time step per fresh install.

No Terminal? After one blocked launch attempt, go to
System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.

xattr -cr only removes macOS's download-quarantine flag; it does not modify
the app. You can verify your download against SHA256SUMS.txt attached below:

shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Tellnova-*.dmg

Signed and notarized macOS builds are on the roadmap.

What's new in 1.1.2

Fixed

  • Linux: app could exit silently on Wayland sessions (Ubuntu 24.04 and similar). Electron auto-selected the native Wayland backend, which is incompatible with Vulkan on common Intel/Mesa graphics stacks. Tellnova now runs through XWayland on Linux, which is stable everywhere. To opt back into native Wayland, launch with TELLNOVA_WAYLAND=1 or pass your own --ozone-platform flag.
  • Long model ids no longer overflow the composer on narrow windows.

New: mobile-friendly web access

Tellnova's self-hosted web access now works properly on phones:

  • The sidebar becomes a slide-in drawer with a menu button in the top bar.
  • Repo, model, and stash menus open as bottom sheets instead of overflowing popovers.
  • Delete-thread and new-thread buttons are always visible on touch screens (no hover needed).
  • The stash menu has a Stash current draft action — the touch equivalent of Ctrl/Cmd+S.

Improved

  • Crash telemetry. GPU, renderer, and utility process failures are now logged (visible when launching from a terminal), so silent exits can be diagnosed.

Existing installs update automatically via the built-in updater.
