All versions & release notes

macOS — first launch (unsigned)

We're shipping unsigned Beta builds while we finalize the Apple Developer ID notarization. Because of that, macOS warns the first time you open Sapii. It's a one-time step.

  1. 1
    Download the .dmg from the release page and double-click to mount it.
  2. 2
    Drag Sapii.app into your Applications folder.
  3. 3
    Right-click Applications/Sapii.app → Open. In the dialog, click Open again.

    You only need to do this the very first time.

  4. 4
    If macOS still blocks the app, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to "Sapii was blocked from use", and click Open Anyway.
  5. 5
    On first run, Sapii asks for Screen Recording permission — this is required to capture system audio for transcription. macOS may need a relaunch after granting it.

Windows — first launch (unsigned)

Windows SmartScreen will warn that Sapii is from an "unrecognized publisher". One-time step:

  1. 1
    Download either .msi (recommended) or .exe from the release page.
  2. 2
    Open the file. SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC".
  3. 3
    Click More info → Run anyway.
  4. 4
    If your antivirus quarantines the installer, restore it and add an exclusion. We're a Beta team without an EV cert yet.
  5. 5
    No special permission needed for system audio — Windows treats loopback capture as non-sensitive.

Why the warnings?

Code-signing certificates suppress the "unrecognized developer / app" warnings. We're a small team in Beta — we'll enroll for an Apple Developer ID and Windows EV cert in v0.2 once the product has a few weeks of real-world feedback. The builds are reproducible from the public source at git.chut.me/sid/sapii; release notes link to the exact commit + SHA-256 checksum.

Verify your download

Each release includes a SHA-256 checksum file. To verify a downloaded DMG matches what we built: 

shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Sapii-*.dmg
diff <(shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Sapii-*.dmg) ~/Downloads/Sapii-*.dmg.sha256

Linux

Linux builds (PipeWire monitor source) follow the macOS + Windows launches. Tell us your distro and we'll keep you posted.
