Flock v0.1.0
Flock v0.1.0 — first release 🎉
Flock shows every Foursquare Swarm check-in you've ever made on one interactive map. Search, filter, and browse stats — all locally on your machine.
Get started at https://ryanmcdowell.github.io/flock/ or download directly below.
Install
macOS — Apple Silicon (most modern Macs, ~2020+)
- Download Flock_0.1.0_aarch64.dmg below.
- Open the
.dmgand drag Flock to your Applications folder. - Open Applications, right-click Flock → Open → Open on the dialog.
The right-click → Open path is important. If you just double-click, macOS will show "Apple could not verify this app is free of malware" and refuse to open it. This release isn't code-signed yet — signing is on the roadmap, and the right-click workaround is a one-time step.
macOS — Intel
Same steps as above, but download Flock_0.1.0_x64.dmg.
Windows
- Download Flock_0.1.0_x64-setup.exe (or the
.msi). - Run it. If Windows SmartScreen shows a warning, click More info → Run anyway.
How to use
- Click Connect with Foursquare — your browser will open to Foursquare's login.
- Sign in to your Foursquare account and approve Flock.
- Wait for your check-ins to sync. (Takes a few seconds for new accounts, a couple of minutes for years of history.)
- Explore — map, timeline, filters, and analytics.
Your data stays cached on your machine. Flock talks directly to Foursquare; nothing is routed through a third-party server.
Known limitations in v0.1.0
- Builds are not code-signed yet, hence the one-time OS warnings on first launch.
- No auto-updater yet — to upgrade, download the new version and replace the app.
- Designed for desktop (1280×800+); narrower window sizes work but aren't polished.
