macOS builds start here. limusic now ships a .dmg for Apple Silicon (macOS 14+), built and signed in CI next to the Linux and Windows binaries. It self-updates the same way the AppImage does. Intel Macs are not supported.
Two things Mac users should know:
- Gatekeeper will say the app "is damaged and can't be opened". It is not a broken download. The bundle is signed ad-hoc rather than with a paid Apple Developer ID, and that plus the browser's quarantine flag produces exactly that wording. Clear it with:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/limusic.app - Signing in does not work on macOS yet. The login window finishes but the cookies never make it across, so the account never connects. Not fixed in this release; everything that does not need an account works.
Performance
- The queue panel stops re-sending and re-rendering the whole queue every time a track advances, and only redraws when the rows on screen actually change.
- Large library grids reveal in chunks instead of laying out every card in one frame.
- The playlist page reads raw state and debounces its filter box, so typing in a long playlist no longer stalls.
Linux: the AppImage self-updates, the rpm does not (install the new rpm). Windows: use the -setup.exe.
