Installation & Requirements
Platform support, downloading the app, and getting past the first-launch security prompt.
No account, no installer wizard, no license key. Grab the app, drag it into Applications, and open it.
Platform support
Today, Nolagmind ships for macOS on Apple Silicon. Intel Mac and Windows builds are on the roadmap — join the Discord to hear the moment they ship.
Downloading
Get the latest build from the download page. It’s a .dmg — open it, then drag Nolagmind into your Applications folder.
The first launch
macOS will say the app is “from an unidentified developer” the first time you open it — Nolagmind isn’t notarized with Apple yet, so this extra step is expected:
- Open the app from Applications. When macOS blocks it, click Done.
- Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the message about Nolagmind, and click Open Anyway.
- Confirm if prompted.
You only do this once. Every launch after that opens normally, like any other app.
Updates
The app checks for a new version on every launch, downloads it quietly in the background, and shows a small corner banner instead of a blocking dialog. Updates install automatically the next time you quit, or immediately if you click “Restart Now.” No reinstalling, no hunting for downloads — release notes show right after each update.
design note
Nolagmind is a native app built with Tauri, not Electron: the interface runs in your system’s own webview, and the heavy lifting — search, file access, indexing — happens in compiled Rust. There’s no bundled browser doing everything in JavaScript, which is why it launches in a blink and stays light while it runs.
