Nebulae is distributed as a self-contained native application. It embeds the Transmission engine, VLC media library, and Tailscale — no separate installation of those tools is required.
| Platform | File |
|---|---|
| macOS Apple Silicon (M1–M5) | Nebulae-macOS-arm64.dmg |
| macOS Intel (x86_64) | Nebulae-macOS-x64.dmg |
| Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) | Nebulae-Setup-x64.exe |
- Double-click
Nebulae-macOS-arm64.dmg. - Drag Nebulae.app to Applications.
- Launch Nebulae from Applications or Launchpad.
Because Nebulae is not notarised by Apple, macOS may block the first launch:
- Option A (recommended): Right-click Nebulae.app in Applications → Open → click Open in the dialog.
-
Option B (Terminal):
xattr -cr /Applications/Nebulae.app
Same steps as above, using Nebulae-macOS-x64.dmg.
- Run
Nebulae-Setup-x64.exe. - If Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC":
Click More info → Run anyway. - On first launch, accept the Windows Firewall prompt for Private networks.
Nebulae keeps all application data — databases, engine state, logs, Tailscale state — strictly inside:
| Platform | Path |
|---|---|
| macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/Nebulae/internal/ |
| Windows | %LOCALAPPDATA%\Nebulae\internal\ |
Your torrent download files are stored in whatever Download Directory you choose in Settings → Downloads.
Delete the app bundle (macOS) or use Add/Remove Programs (Windows). To also remove all state, delete the internal storage folder listed above.
