Zarp for macOS 0.2.0

The disk image now opens as a drag-to-Applications window, and the README has a step-by-step guide for the first launch. The app and the background service are otherwise the same as in 0.1.0.

Changes

  • Install window. Open the disk image and drag Zarp onto Applications. The volume has Zarp's icon, and the old READ ME FIRST.txt is gone: the first-launch steps are in the README.
  • Docs. A shorter README with download links for macOS, Windows and Android, and an illustrated Why won't Zarp open? guide.

Install

Download Zarp-0.2.0-arm64.dmg, drag Zarp to Applications and follow the first-launch steps in the README.
Requires an Apple Silicon Mac and macOS 14 or later (developed and tested on macOS 15).

This release is not notarized by Apple (there is no paid Apple Developer membership behind the project), so macOS blocks the first launch: open System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Step by step, with screenshots.

Known limitations

  • WireGuard and the raw-socket strategies (badsum, tcp_md5, seqovl, hostfakesplit) are not available on macOS and are listed as such.
  • Tested on macOS 15 over Wi-Fi only; macOS 14 and other network types are not yet tested.
  • After sleep or a network change traffic can stall for up to about 30 seconds before the tunnel is re-established.
  • Translations other than English and Russian have not been reviewed by native speakers.
