Getting Started

Downloading

Download the latest version from the releases page.

Select the correct file for your platform.

Running the app

macOS

When running the app for the first time, you might see a warning saying vexed cannot be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. This happens because the app isn’t signed with an Apple developer certificate.

See Apple’s documentation for more details.

Newer macOS versions (Sequoia and later)

1. Open System Settings, then click Privacy & Security in the sidebar
2. Scroll down to Security, then click Open
3. Click Open Anyway
4. Enter your login password, then click OK.

Older versions (Sonoma and older)

1. In Finder, locate the app (don’t use Launchpad)
2. Control-click the app icon, then choose Open from the shortcut menu
3. Click Open

---

It might also prompt you to install Rosetta 2, which is required to run x86_64 apps on Apple Silicon Macs.

Windows

Microsoft Defender SmartScreen will stop the app from running when you first try to open it.

1. Click More info when the SmartScreen warning appears
2. Click Run anyway

Note

These warnings are only a result of the app not being signed, which costs money. They only show the first time you run the app anyways.
