Installation

Download, move to Applications, and open CloakView for the first time.

Get the right release

CloakView requires macOS 14.2 or later. The GitHub repository and signed downloads are not published yet; the download page shows availability and checksums when they exist. Do not download a file claiming to be CloakView from an unofficial mirror.

Move it to Applications

When a verified release is available, open the downloaded DMG, drag CloakView into Applications, then eject the DMG. Keep the original DMG until you have confirmed the app opens. The release page will identify supported Mac architectures; do not use the Intel or Windows placeholders as if they were available.

First launch

Open CloakView from Applications. macOS may ask you to confirm opening an app downloaded from the internet. Verify its signature and release source before proceeding; do not bypass Gatekeeper for an unverified build. Add your own API key in the app’s Settings, then grant the permissions described in the next article. Until a release is published, these steps are a preview, not a working download.
