• Local desktop experience for self-hosted Gotify instances

Installation

Download the latest release from GitHub and move Gotify Desktop.app to /Applications.

Release builds are universal binaries, so the same download runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

Opening downloaded builds on macOS (Gatekeeper)

If macOS says "Gotify Desktop.app" is damaged and can't be opened, Gatekeeper is blocking an unsigned or unnotarized app.

Try these options:

• In Finder, right-click Gotify Desktop.app and choose Open.
• Check System Settings -> Privacy & Security for an Open Anyway button after a failed launch attempt.

If the app is still blocked, remove the quarantine attribute:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Gotify Desktop.app"

Notes:

• This is usually required per downloaded build (new downloads are quarantined again).
• For smooth install/launch without bypass steps, releases must be signed and notarized with an Apple Developer account.
