Orchid v1.3.2
Orchid 1.3.2.
Download & install
Requires macOS on Apple Silicon (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4).
1. Download Orchid-1.3.2-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:
- In Applications, double-click Orchid.
- A box says "Apple could not verify 'Orchid' is free of malware…" → click Done. (Do not click "Move to Bin".)
- Open the Apple menu → System Settings → Privacy & Security.
- Scroll to Security — "Orchid was blocked to protect your Mac." → click Open Anyway.
- 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 new in 1.3.2
Reliability
- Native crashes are now actually captured. Previously a hard crash in the main process (the "Orchid quit unexpectedly" kind) could slip past crash reporting. On the next launch Orchid now reads macOS's own crash logs and reports a summary (exception, faulting thread, top frames, version, OS) — the ground-truth signal for every crash the OS records.
