macOS install
Open the DMG and drag Glimpr into Applications. On first launch macOS shows the standard one-time "downloaded from the Internet" confirmation — the app is notarized by Apple, so click Open. Grant Screen Recording (and optionally Accessibility for element snap) when prompted.
Windows install
Windows SmartScreen may warn that the installer is unrecognized — this release is not code-signed (signing is planned). Click More info → Run anyway. This is expected for new unsigned publishers and the warning fades as download reputation accrues.
