Pick your platform from the Assets below:

Platform	Files
Windows	Noctis-v1.6.4-Setup.exe (installer) · Noctis-windows-x64.zip (portable)
macOS	Noctis-osx-arm64.dmg (Apple Silicon) · Noctis-osx-x64.dmg (Intel)

Running on macOS — the app isn't code-signed, so Gatekeeper quarantines it on first launch. After dragging Noctis into your Applications folder, clear the flag once in Terminal:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Noctis.app

Then open Noctis normally.
