System requirements

  • macOS 14 or later
  • Apple Silicon (M1 or later)

​
Install the app

  1. Download the latest .dmg from the website.
  2. Open the disk image.
  3. Drag Studio into your Applications folder.
  4. Open Studio from Applications or Launchpad.
On first launch, the app starts a local service and opens the onboarding flow. This may take up to a minute the first time while the packaged backend runtime extracts. This is expected - wait for the onboarding screen to appear. If the app opens successfully, continue to Onboarding.

​
If macOS blocks the app

macOS may show a warning the first time you open a downloaded app.
  1. Open System Settings.
  2. Go to Privacy & Security.
  3. Scroll down and click Open Anyway next to the Studio entry.
  4. Reopen Studio.
If the app still fails to open, go to Troubleshooting.

​
What the app installs locally

The desktop app stores local data in the macOS application data directory for Studio. The exact path is shown in Settings under Runtime. The folders you will use most often: These paths are also accessible from Settings inside the app using Open Logs and Open Data.

​
Updating the app

Download the new .dmg from the website, drag the updated app into Applications, and reopen. Local data is preserved across updates.

​
Uninstalling

Move Studio from Applications to Trash. Local data is not removed automatically. Use Settings to open the data folder before uninstalling if you want to remove local state as well.
