Dimensional v1.0

Dimensional v1.0 is a local macOS quick-calculation app for astrophysics units, constants, and common CGM/ISM shortcuts.

Distribution

This is a public source release plus an unsigned/ad-hoc-signed macOS app for technical users.

The macOS app is not Developer ID signed and is not notarized. That is intentional for v1.0. Users should expect Gatekeeper to require an explicit first-launch approval.

Install The App

Download Dimensional-v1.0-macos-arm64-unsigned.zip, unzip it, and move Dimensional.app to ~/Applications or /Applications.

If macOS blocks the first launch, inspect the source/release first, then either right-click Dimensional.app and choose Open, or run:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine Dimensional.app
open Dimensional.app

Included

  • Native macOS floating calculator panel.
  • Embedded PyInstaller engine executable at Contents/MacOS/dimensional-engine.
  • CGS-first unit arithmetic with astronomy-friendly result rows.
  • Adaptive rounding diagnostics for hidden small terms.
  • Swift-owned formatting/resolver/output preferences.
  • Configurable global hotkey, defaulting to Control-Space.
  • Natural astrophysics shortcuts for gas composition, sound speed, thermal speed, pressure, magnetic pressure, cooling curves, and cooling time.
  • Built-in AthenaK-derived ism, cgm_cie, cgm_pie, and cgm_athenak_net cooling curves.
  • User cooling curve folder and guide from Settings.
