Flock v0.1.2 — proper install path for modern macOS

Two fixes since v0.1.1:

  • Squircle app icon. The pin-flock disc now fills the full icon tile in the standard macOS app-icon shape, instead of floating in a transparent gutter that some macOS chrome rendered as a grey square.
  • Working install path for macOS Sequoia. v0.1.1's "right-click → Open" workaround used to work on older macOS, but Sequoia (macOS 15) blocks unsigned apps with a "Move to Trash / Done" dialog that has no Open Anyway button. The correct path on modern macOS is via System Settings, documented below.

Install on macOS

  1. Download Flock_0.1.2_aarch64.dmg (Apple Silicon) or Flock_0.1.2_x64.dmg (Intel) below.
  2. Open the .dmg and drag Flock to your Applications folder.
  3. Open Applications and double-click Flock.
  4. macOS will show a dialog saying "Apple could not verify Flock is free of malware that may harm your Mac." This is expected — the build isn't paid-Apple-Developer-signed. Click Done (not Move to Trash).
  5. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
  6. Scroll down to the Security section. You'll see a line that reads "Flock was blocked to protect your Mac" with an Open Anyway button next to it. Click it.
  7. Authenticate with your password or Touch ID.
  8. Double-click Flock in Applications again. A new dialog appears with an Open button. Click it.
  9. Flock launches.

You only have to do steps 4–8 once. Future launches open normally.

Install on Windows

  1. Download Flock_0.1.2_x64-setup.exe (or the .msi).
  2. Run it. If Windows SmartScreen shows a warning, click More info → Run anyway.

How to use

  1. Click Connect with Foursquare — your browser will open to Foursquare's login.
  2. Sign in to your Foursquare account and approve Flock.
  3. Wait for your check-ins to sync. (A few seconds for new accounts, a couple of minutes for years of history.)
  4. 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.

Already installed an earlier version?

You can upgrade by downloading v0.1.2, dragging it to /Applications, and overwriting the old copy. Your check-ins and preferences are preserved (they live in ~/Library/Application Support/io.ryanmcdowell.flock/).

Known limitations

  • Builds are ad-hoc signed but not Apple-notarized. The System Settings → Open Anyway path is a one-time step per install on macOS.
  • No auto-updater yet — to upgrade, download the new release and replace the app.
  • Designed for desktop (1280×800+); narrower window sizes work but aren't polished.
