Download

⬇️ Download ClipDeck 0.9.0 Beta 1 for macOS

macOS 15.7+ · Intel & Apple Silicon · No Xcode required

ClipDeck 0.9.0 is currently a beta release.

Do not use GitHub's Code → Download ZIP button to install ClipDeck. That button downloads the source code, not the macOS application.

Installation

Download the latest ClipDeck beta from GitHub Releases.

1. Download ClipDeck-0.9.0-beta.1-macOS.zip.
2. Extract the ZIP.
3. Move ClipDeck.app to your Applications folder.
4. Open ClipDeck.

First launch

ClipDeck's current beta is distributed without Apple Developer ID notarization, so macOS may block the first launch.

If that happens:

1. Try to open ClipDeck once.
2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
3. Find the message about ClipDeck.
4. Choose Open Anyway.
5. Confirm Open.

This approval should normally only be required for the first launch.
