Blockout 5.0.0 — macOS + Windows (prerelease)

First desktop prerelease with both macOS and Windows installers.

Downloads

Your machine	File
Mac (Apple Silicon)	Blockout-5.0.0-mac-arm64.dmg
Windows 11 (x64)	Blockout-5.0.0-win-x64.exe

Intel Macs: build from source (npm ci && npm run package:mac) for now — an x64 DMG will follow.

Install on Windows

1. Download the .exe and (optionally) verify it against SHA256SUMS-windows-x64.txt:
   certutil -hashfile Blockout-5.0.0-win-x64.exe SHA256
2. The build is unsigned, so SmartScreen will warn: click More info → Run anyway.
3. The installer runs per-user — no admin rights needed. Exports work out of the box (FFmpeg is bundled).

Install on macOS

1. Download the DMG and drag Blockout to Applications.
2. The build is unsigned: right-click the app → Open the first time to pass Gatekeeper.

Notes

• These are prerelease, unsigned builds. Verify checksums before installing.
• Projects round-trip between macOS and Windows — same project folder, no conversion.
• blockout-ffmpeg-macos-arm64.tar.gz is the audited GPL FFmpeg/FFprobe pair used by macOS packaging; the FFmpeg corresponding-source archives and SPDX/CycloneDX SBOMs are attached alongside (see THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md and third_party/ffmpeg/PROVENANCE.md in the repo).

Windows support contributed and maintained by @GumbiiDigital.
