Install on macOS
Install the Apple-silicon DMG and handle Gatekeeper safely.
Install on macOS
Cove currently supports Apple-silicon Macs. Intel Macs are not supported.
The release asset is cove-macos-arm64.dmg. It bundles libmpv and its native runtime dependencies, so Homebrew and a separate API key are not required.
Recommended installation
The DMG is ad-hoc signed, not notarized with an Apple Developer ID. Downloading it from Terminal avoids the browser quarantine flag that produces the Gatekeeper warning:
curl -LO https://github.com/coveninja/cove/releases/latest/download/cove-macos-arm64.dmg
open cove-macos-arm64.dmg
Drag Cove into Applications, then launch it normally.
If you downloaded with a browser
macOS may say Apple could not verify Cove. Either approve Cove under System Settings → Privacy & Security, or clear the downloaded application's quarantine flag:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Cove.app
Only do this for the DMG obtained from Cove's official GitHub release.
Updates
macOS releases are replaced manually. Download the new DMG and replace the application in Applications. Your library and settings live outside the application bundle.
