What's new

  • Xcode project. MacLC now builds from an Xcode project (Xcode 27.2), for easier contributions and debugging.
  • Modernized for macOS 27. Replaced deprecated APIs across the app: IOKit master port, Core Audio main element, Core Video display link, the error icon, URL-handler lookups, the extensions dialog's web view, and pasteboard file reads and writes.
  • Touch-ready hit targets. Buttons and controls meet larger minimum hit targets where macOS 26/27 touch input applies, for MacBooks with a touchscreen.

Fixes

  • A few interface warnings: removed a stale reference to a deleted custom button class, fixed a layout conflict on the video view's title-bar buttons, and fixed a focus call that could target a detached sidebar view.

Install and first launch

  1. Open the disk image and drag MacLC to Applications.
  2. Open MacLC once. macOS says it could not verify MacLC is free of malware: click Done.
  3. Open System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll to Security and click Open Anyway next to "MacLC was blocked…", then confirm with your password or Touch ID. Only needed once.

Why this step? macOS opens downloaded apps without asking only when they are signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, which requires a paid Apple Developer Program membership (99 USD a year). MacLC is a free, open-source project: it is signed ad hoc, which proves the files were not altered since the build but does not identify the author to Apple. macOS therefore asks you to confirm once. It does not mean the app is damaged or unsafe; the source is public and the SHA-256 of the disk image is below. The disk image contains the same explanation in English and French, and the README has the details (Terminal alternative included).

If macOS ever says MacLC "is damaged", the download is incomplete: download it again and compare the SHA-256.

Requirements

macOS 26 or later, Apple Silicon. Watch, add-ons and YouTube need an internet connection. Optional: yt-dlp for the YouTube section and File › Open Web Video (brew install yt-dlp, kept up to date), SVP 4 Mac for the SVP interpolation engine.

SHA-256 (maclc-1.5.dmg): 6e79918766d50eb9e17e9fa6485511122ef233a3125a11c2b2d56149215c1878
