First-launch notes

  • macOS:builds are notarized when release signing credentials are configured. If a build is still ad-hoc signed, right-click the app in Finder -> Open -> Open to bypass Gatekeeper on first launch.
  • Mac architecture:choose ARM64 for Apple Silicon Macs and x64 for Intel Macs. Check Apple menu -> About This Mac if unsure.
  • Windows: SmartScreen may prompt. Click More info -> Run anyway.
  • Linux (AppImage): chmod +x the downloaded file, then run it directly.
  • Data is stored in your OS app-data directory (~/Library/Application Support/SwarmClaw, %APPDATA%\SwarmClaw, or ~/.config/SwarmClaw).

Troubleshooting first launch on macOS

macOS builds are notarized when release signing credentials are configured. If a build is still ad-hoc signed, Gatekeeper may block the first launch. Two error messages are common:

  • "SwarmClaw can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer"
    Right-click (or Control-click) SwarmClaw.app in Finder, choose Open, then Open again on the confirmation dialog.
  • "SwarmClaw is damaged and can't be opened"
    This is the quarantine attribute Safari adds to downloaded dmgs. Strip it and relaunch:
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/SwarmClaw.app

The release workflow can use Developer ID signing and Apple notarization credentials. Until those credentials are present for a release, these steps are a one-time operation per install.

Prefer the CLI or a hosted deploy?

The desktop app ships the same runtime as the npm package and Docker image. Use whichever fits your setup.
