First official macOS build of POMSKI — a native .app, no Python installation required.

Install

  1. Download POMSKI-macOS-v1.1.0.zip below and unzip it
  2. Drag POMSKI.app to your Applications folder
  3. Right-click the app → OpenOpen

macOS will warn that POMSKI is "from an unidentified developer" — that's expected. POMSKI is free and open-source and isn't signed with a paid Apple certificate. Right-click → Open tells macOS you trust it, and you only need to do it once.

The first launch takes 10–20 seconds while the app unpacks itself and installs its Ableton helper script. Later launches are quick.

What's in this build

  • Native macOS window — POMSKI runs in its own app window, no browser needed
  • Ableton Link works in-process on macOS (no helper subprocess required)
  • ClyphX is bundled and auto-installed into your Ableton Remote Scripts folder on first run — live.clyphx() action macros work without buying ClyphX Pro. Just add "ClyphX" as a Control Surface in Live's preferences.
  • Branded loading screen with live startup progress instead of a blank window
  • Faster cold start — UPX disabled, and setup work moved off the launch path
  • MIDI device is remembered between launches
  • Web UI reference tab and tutorial updated, including the conductor signal API (lfo() and line())

Requirements

macOS 10.15 or later. Any DAW, softsynth, or hardware that accepts MIDI.
