galleypdf command — a compiled front end shipped inside the bundle at GalleyPDF.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/galleypdf, the same layout Emacs uses for emacsclient. Open PDFs, jump to a page, force a reload, and drive SyncTeX forward search from your shell, your editor, or a build script
galleypdf paper.pdf — open a PDF
galleypdf open -p 12 paper.pdf — open it at page 12
galleypdf reload — force a reload of the current PDF
galleypdf displayline -g 120 paper.pdf paper.tex — the same, in Skim's displayline argument order
Homebrew tap — brew install --cask munepi/galley/galley installs Galley and puts galleypdf on your PATH
New URL scheme endpoint: galleypdf://open?pdfpath=<absolute_pdf_path>&page=<page>
Every galleypdf:// endpoint now accepts background=1, which pairs with open -g: Galley shows the window without taking focus from your editor
Vim/Neovim (VimTeX) can now be selected in the SyncTeX menu, so Cmd + Click in the PDF jumps back into your editor. Forward search has worked since VimTeX v2.18 (let g:vimtex_view_method = 'galley'), and this completes the round trip
🔄 Changes
Rectangular selection reports its dimensions to 0.01 mm, up from 0.1 mm
The disk image now contains GalleyPDF.app itself — mount it and drag the app onto the Applications shortcut. The .pkg installer is no longer part of the release
Because of that, Sparkle updates replace the app in place and no longer ask for an administrator password
displayline.bash has been removed. Use galleypdf displayline, which takes the same arguments and skips the AppleScript round trip — and the macOS Automation permission prompt that came with it
🐛 Fixes
Quitting with the Fonts or XMP subtab open no longer leaves the PDF Info sidebar there on the next launch, where a font scan would start up behind a spinner. The sidebar returns to Info instead
🔔 Important Notes
Requires macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later
Universal Binary (Apple Silicon + Intel)
Apple notarized and signed with Developer ID. The application bundle now carries a stapled notarization ticket of its own, so the first launch works without a network connection
Installing from the disk image? galleypdf is optional and lives inside the bundle. Add it to your PATH with export PATH="/Applications/GalleyPDF.app/Contents/MacOS/bin:$PATH", or link it with sudo ln -sf /Applications/GalleyPDF.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/galleypdf /usr/local/bin/galleypdf
