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.xml once 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

  1. Download Skald-0.3.0.dmg below.
  2. Double-click to open. A window with the Skald icon and an Applications shortcut appears.
  3. Drag Skald onto Applications.
  4. Eject the disk image. Open Skald from Applications.
  5. 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.
