Orchid v1.1.2

Choose a tag to compare

@avnat avnat released this 24 Jun 16:15

A small but important fix for a background crash.

Update

Already on 1.1.x? Orchid will show an in-app update card (or use Orchid → Check for Updates…). Otherwise download below.

Download & install

Requires macOS on Apple Silicon (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4).

1. Download Orchid-1.1.2-arm64.dmg below.

2. Install — open the .dmg, then drag the Orchid icon onto the Applications folder.

3. Open it the first time (one-time, ~15 seconds):

Orchid is free and open-source, and isn't paid-signed by Apple, so macOS double-checks with you on the very first launch. This is normal and safe — just:

  1. In Applications, double-click Orchid.
  2. A box says "Apple could not verify 'Orchid' is free of malware…" → click Done. (Do not click "Move to Bin".)
  3. Open the Apple menu → System Settings → Privacy & Security.
  4. Scroll to Security — you'll see "Orchid was blocked to protect your Mac." → click Open Anyway.
  5. Confirm with Open Anyway (Touch ID / password if asked).

From then on, Orchid opens with a normal double-click. ✨

Rare — if it says "damaged" or won't open, the quarantine flag got stuck. Open Terminal and run:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Orchid.app

What's fixed in 1.1.2

  • No more crash on system theme changes. If you closed Orchid's window but left the app running, a macOS auto Light↔Dark switch (e.g. at sunset) could pop a "JavaScript error in the main process" dialog. Fixed — the window reference is cleared on close, and all background messages are guarded against a torn-down window.
