Skald 0.3.0
Skald 0.3.0
No more Gatekeeper warnings. Skald is now signed with an Apple Developer ID, notarized, and shipped as a DMG. Double-click and it opens — no right-click "Open", no "developer cannot be verified" warning.
What's new
- 🔒 Signed + notarized. Apple has verified this build. First launch is a single double-click; no security workarounds needed.
- 📀 DMG distribution. Mount the disk image, drag Skald to Applications, eject. Standard macOS install flow.
- 🔄 Auto-updates wired up. Skald now checks
panic-kit.com/skald/appcast.xmlonce a day and offers updates in place — no more manually downloading each new version. (You'll need to do this last manual install once; future versions install themselves.) - 🌐 Product page at panic-kit.com/skald.
No app-level feature changes since 0.2.2 — this release is entirely about install + update infrastructure.
Install
- Download
Skald-0.3.0.dmgbelow. - Double-click to open. A window with the Skald icon and an Applications shortcut appears.
- Drag Skald onto Applications.
- Eject the disk image. Open Skald from Applications.
- macOS asks for Accessibility permission once — this is required for Skald to paste translations into the focused app. Grant it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility.
Upgrading from 0.2.x
The 0.2.x builds didn't have a working appcast feed, so they can't auto-update to this version. Download and install 0.3.0 manually once — from 0.3.x onward, updates roll out automatically in the background.
Your settings, hotkeys, and API keys carry over.
