Riftgate 2.0.1

Which file do I download?

Your computer	Download
Windows 10 or 11	Riftgate-Setup-2.0.1.exe (112 MB)
Mac with an Apple chip (M1 or newer)	Riftgate-2.0.1-arm64.dmg (128 MB)
Mac with an Intel chip	Riftgate-2.0.1.dmg (134 MB)

Not sure which Mac you have? Apple menu → About This Mac: "Chip: Apple M…" means Apple chip, "Processor: Intel…" means Intel.

The other files here (.zip, .blockmap, latest.yml, latest-mac.yml) are what Riftgate's automatic updates use. You don't need to download them.

Already have Riftgate on Windows? You don't need to download anything: Riftgate offers this version by itself, asks before installing, and keeps your library, shows, books and settings.

Windows first install: a blue "Windows protected your PC" screen may appear the first time. Riftgate isn't digitally signed yet. Click More info → Run anyway. It only happens once, because later updates install through the app.

Mac first install: open the .dmg and drag Riftgate into Applications. The first time, right-click → Open (or System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway). If macOS says the app "is damaged", run xattr -cr /Applications/Riftgate.app in Terminal and open it again. The Mac version can't update itself yet: download the new .dmg for each new version. Your library and settings are kept.

New

• The opening has sound. The tear rips open, the gem bursts through with a boom and a crystal chord, and every bolt of lightning cracks the instant it strikes, then rolls into thunder (Settings → Opening animation: with sound, silently, or skip it).
• Ask the Rift. Tell it what you feel like in your own words ("a co-op shooter for friends, no horror", "something funny and short", "a cosy fantasy book", "a game like Team Fortress 2") and it picks three, ranked by real reviews and ratings, and says why. It's in Surprise me and in Free games, the Theatre, the Reading room and the Library. It runs on your computer: free, and nothing you type leaves Riftgate.
• Add a show. Search any series or anime, even one Riftgate doesn't list, and add it to My shows (Theatre → My shows → Add a show, or Ctrl K). Its new episodes show up in Nexus.
• Riftgate says goodbye. When it closes for good, a soft, calm chord fades out as the app closes in on a point of light (Settings → Opening animation → Sound when Riftgate closes).
• Click the gem in Nexus and it strikes, with the opening's lightning.

Changed

• Find tickets only shows for films in cinemas now. A film from a streaming row has Watch on Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video… and opens it there.
• "Your shows" is now My shows, and a show's Track button takes it out again.
• In the opening, the name RIFTGATE stays on screen two seconds once it has fully appeared, before the rift opens onto the app.
• Find tickets opens a cinema's own website: the cinema you picked in the Theatre, or else the closest cinema to your city that has a website. It only searches Google when no cinema around has one.

Fixed

• A cinema chain's website is only used in the countries where the chain has cinemas, so Find tickets no longer opens a foreign site that blocks you (like Cinépolis's in Portugal).
• The taskbar icon is blue too, like the app's icon.
