MultiPath v1.2.0 — self-updates, and macOS

Updates from inside the app

  • Settings → Updates → Check: if there's a newer version, MultiPath shows what's new and waits for you to click Install and restart
  • Signed: every update is checked against a key built into the app before it's installed; a download that doesn't check out is never installed
  • Optional check at start (off by default): only tells you on the main page, never installs on its own
  • Works with the Windows installer, the Linux .deb and AppImage, and macOS
  • Checking only asks GitHub for latest.json; nothing about you or your PC is sent

macOS (Apple silicon)

  • The same popup, below the menu bar icon; Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB-tethered iPhone or Android (NCM)
  • macOS asks for an administrator password each time you turn it on: a small helper adds the adapter, routes and DNS, and removes them again when you turn off or the app quits
  • Ad-hoc signed, not notarised: the first time, open it once, then click Open Anyway in System Settings → Privacy & Security (on macOS 14 and older, right-click → Open also works)

Also new

  • A colour for every network: two Ethernets or two Wi-Fi networks no longer share one colour in the ring, the list and Connections
  • Hide unavailable networks (Settings → App): unplugged cables and networks that aren't connected leave the list
  • Much less memory with many connections: idle connections hold a fraction of the memory, and connections an app has closed end at once (was 1 GB+ with thousands of connections)

Install

  • Windows: run MultiPath_1.2.0_x64-setup.exe, open it from the tray and allow the admin prompt
  • Debian / Ubuntu / Kali: sudo apt install ./MultiPath_1.2.0_amd64.deb
  • Other Linux: make MultiPath_1.2.0_amd64.AppImage executable and run it with sudo
  • macOS: open MultiPath_1.2.0_aarch64.dmg and drag MultiPath to Applications

Coming from 1.1.0, install 1.2.0 by hand once; later versions update from the app. After an update on Windows, MultiPath comes back in the tray: turn it on again and allow the admin prompt.

Note: a single connection — one download, a video call or a game — still only gets one network's speed. Apps that open many connections get the combined speed.
