The exact verification commands are:

Terminal window
shasum -a 256 Molt_0.2.7_aarch64.dmg

Expected digests:

The supported manual installation is to drag the application into:

/Applications/Molt.app

The selected release attaches only the two DMG installers; it does not attach a package-manager installer or updater package.

The release README states that builds are not Apple-notarized. Gatekeeper may report that the app is damaged. After confirming the official artifact, the documented workaround is:

Terminal window
xattr -cr /Applications/Molt.app

There is no in-app updater. To upgrade, quit Molt and replace the application bundle with a newer release. Notebook and configuration files remain under the user’s Application Support directory and are separate from the app bundle.

Tauri creates the main window with:

Property Value
Initial size 680 × 720 logical pixels
Visible at launch Yes
Resizable Yes
Decorations Yes
Transparent window Yes
Always on top No
Skip taskbar No in Tauri config

The bundle’s Info.plist sets LSUIElement to true, so macOS suppresses the Dock icon. The selected release does not construct a tray icon or menu-bar toggle despite granting tray permissions.

The settings window is created on demand at 520 × 480, is resizable and minimizable, and is not maximizable.

The published app bundle and DMG use version 0.2.7. The release workflow derives that version from the GitHub tag. These source manifests retain the development default 0.1.0:

  • Root package.json.
  • src-tauri/Cargo.toml.
  • src-tauri/tauri.conf.json.

Use the GitHub release and commit for documentation provenance; do not infer the published bundle version from the development defaults.
