Kroma Ecosystem 2.5.0 for Mac

Kroma's 21 studios run as a native Mac app. Docs, PDF Studio, OCR, Transcribe, Reader, Recall, Citations, Vault, Slides, Audio Lab and the other studios are included, and most of them work offline.

Download: Kroma-2.5.0-arm64.dmg (255 MB, macOS 12 or later, Apple silicon)
SHA-256: eb822aceefd09e70f6f9d28c92cda07fe50a469ec9328c5568607c638accd1f2

What's new in this build

  • Native menus. File → New Page (⌘N) and Search (⌘K). Go → Docs, AI, PDF, OCR, Transcribe, Reader, Recall, Slides and Audio Lab (⌘1–⌘9), All Studios (⇧⌘H), Back and Forward (⌘[ / ⌘]).
  • Window size and position are remembered between launches.
  • About window shows the version.
  • Apple Vision OCR: if it can't read a page, OCR now falls back to the built-in offline engine.
  • Security: the app runs sandboxed, with a content security policy and checks on every native call. No telemetry.
  • Size: about half the size of the previous build (255 MB, was 533 MB).
  • Every studio was rebuilt in this release: a crash-safe 10-hour recorder, FSRS flashcards, PDF viewer and annotations, searchable-PDF OCR, page history in Docs, and more.

Installing

  1. Open the DMG and drag Kroma Ecosystem into Applications.
  2. The app is signed ad-hoc but not notarized by Apple, so the first launch is blocked. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway.
  3. To check the download, run shasum -a 256 Kroma-2.5.0-arm64.dmg in Terminal and compare the result with the SHA-256 above.

Your data stays where it was: updating from an earlier build keeps your pages and settings.
