Download

Windows

You can download the latest .exe installer in the Releases. Follow the installer instructions. Windows will show a 'we protected your PC' dialog when running the tool for the first time. Click on 'more...' and 'Run Anyway' to run this tool.

A note on Bluetooth connectivity

Windows has known issues with connecting via Bluetooth. This is because of limitations of the Windows Bluetooth Stack itself. On Windows, a USB connection is preferred.

If you would like to connect via Bluetooth either way, please refer to this article: https://github.com/abandonware/noble. You will have to install a WinUSB driver, or use a separate dongle to make use of Bluetooth functionality.

Mac

Download the latest .dmg package for mac from the Releases.

Just drag the program into the Applications folder to install it. When running the tool for the first time, Mac will show a warning this developer is unknown.

Go to 'System Preferences' > 'Security' and click on 'Open Anyway' to run the tool.
