Download

The launcher is the one program you install. Everything else, the apps themselves, you get from inside it, so that every app is checked before it runs.

What's new in 0.1.1

• The launcher no longer quits right after you open it on a Mac: version 0.1.0 could not find its own helper programs and stopped at start.
• Downloading and unzipping the launcher no longer leaves stray ._ files inside it, which made macOS refuse to open it.

Install

1. Download the zip.Use the button above. It is the same file that is attached to the GitHub release.
2. Check it (optional).In the folder with the download, run shasum -a 256 D9010-VmApp-Launcher-0.1.1-mac-arm64.zip. The answer must be the SHA-256 shown above.
3. Move it into Applications.Unzip it, drag D9010VmAppLauncher.app into /Applications and open it. The first time, macOS asks you to confirm that you downloaded it from the internet: choose Open.
4. Try an app.Click Load examples, tick the sample apps you want and choose Install selected. Installing allows nothing: each app asks for what it needs the first time you launch it.

Updates

Once installed, the launcher tells you when a newer version is available: a card appears at the top of its window with what changed, and you choose Update now, Later or Skip this version. Nothing is downloaded or restarted without your click. The check asks one address on this site for a small file and sends nothing about you: no identifier, no list of your apps, not even the version you run. You can turn it off in Host Capabilities, and ask yourself any time with Check for Updates… in the launcher's menu.

Older versions stay on the releases page. The source of this version is the tag above.
