If RAMble wouldn't open for you, this is the fix
Every release since 1.4.0 crashed instantly on launch on any Mac that wasn't the machine it was built on. If you downloaded RAMble and saw no icon anywhere, or it seemed to do nothing, this was why — the app died before it could create its menu-bar icon. It was not your Mac, and not Gatekeeper.
What was wrong
The logo was loaded through SwiftPM's Bundle.module, whose generated accessor only checks two locations: the root of the .app (RAMble correctly ships resources in Contents/Resources, so that missed) and an absolute path inside the original build machine's build folder. When neither exists it calls fatalError. That second path existed only on the developer's Mac, which is exactly why this survived testing.
Fixed by removing Bundle.module entirely in favour of a lookup that checks the real locations and falls back to a drawn icon instead of trapping. Verified by reproducing a clean machine: 1.6.0 dies with the reported error, 1.6.1 launches.
Install
- Unzip, drag RAMble.app to Applications.
- Run this in Terminal (still needed — RAMble isn't notarized):
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/RAMble.app
- Open it. A welcome window confirms it's running; look for the ram in your menu bar.
Universal (Apple Silicon + Intel), macOS 15+.

Thanks to the two people who reported this and sent logs — the crash trace is what pinpointed it.
