Installation

Download Kumo, drag it into Applications, and open it for the first time.

Kumo ships as a notarized .dmg disk image. The installation process is the same as any other Mac app.

Requirements

  • macOS 15 Sequoia or newer
  • An Apple Silicon Mac (M1, M2, M3, M4)
  • About 200 MB of free disk space

Intel Macs are not supported in the first release.

Install

Download the latest release

Open the GitHub release page and download the file that ends in -arm64.dmg.

Open the DMG

Double-click the downloaded file. macOS verifies the signature and shows a window with the Kumo icon and an alias to Applications.

Drag Kumo to Applications

Drag the Kumo icon onto the Applications alias inside the same window. macOS copies the app.

Eject and launch

Right-click the mounted disk image in Finder and pick Eject, then open Kumo from Applications or from Launchpad.

The first time you open Kumo, macOS Gatekeeper may display a warning: "Kumo can't be opened because it was downloaded from the internet." Click Open. This prompt should only appear once.

File locations

After installing, Kumo resides in /Applications/Kumo.app. App data — subscriptions, settings, and logs — is stored separately under the home folder.

To remove Kumo, drag Kumo.app to the Trash. To also delete saved data, open Finder, press ⇧⌘G, paste ~/Library/Application Support/Kumo, and move that folder to the Trash as well.

Updates

Kumo checks for updates automatically every few minutes while running, and shows a notification when a new version is available. Manual checks are available from Settings → Updates. See Stay up to date.
