macOS will refuse to open this at first
The build isn't signed with an Apple Developer ID yet, so Gatekeeper blocks it โ often with "monkeyplex is damaged and can't be opened". It isn't damaged; that's just what macOS says about unsigned apps it downloaded. To open it anyway:
- 1. Drag monkeyplex to your Applications folder.
- 2. Run this in Terminal:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/monkeyplex.app - 3. Open it normally.
Only ever run that command on software you meant to install. Signing is a separate piece of work and it's on the list.
What this build does
- โInstalls and runs as a normal Mac app, with its own local server. Nothing you do in it leaves your machine.
- โShows your account and which modules you're entitled to.
What it doesn't do yet
- โOpen documents or tables. Module loading isn't built โ the app tells you so rather than pretending.
- โSign in from the app. A shipped app must not carry our credentials, so it will use the same device-code flow as the command-line tools. Not connected yet.
- โRun on Intel Macs, Windows or Linux. Apple Silicon only so far.
- โUpdate itself. You'd re-download.
If that list sounds too early to be useful โ it probably is. Join the list and we'll tell you when it isn't.
