Download

The current version is v0.8.3. Every file below, with its SHA-256, is listed in checksums.txt; all versions live on the releases page.

macOS

One download for both Apple Silicon and Intel:

Open it and drag Oxidify to Applications.

First open on macOS

This build is not notarized with Apple, so macOS blocks it the first time. Recent macOS versions (Sequoia and later) no longer let you bypass this with a right-click, so you open it once through Privacy & Security:

  1. Double-click Oxidify in Applications. macOS says it cannot be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. Click Done (do not click Move to Trash).
  2. Open System Settings, then Privacy & Security.
  3. Scroll down to the Security section, find “Oxidify was blocked to protect your Mac”, and click Open Anyway.
  4. Authenticate, then click Open Anyway once more.

macOS remembers the choice, so later launches work with an ordinary double-click.

Windows

The installer adds Oxidify to the Start menu and needs no administrator rights. Choose x86_64 for most PCs or aarch64 for Windows on ARM:

If you would rather not install anything, the same program comes as a zip: unpack it and run oxidify.exe.

Either way, SmartScreen may warn about an unknown publisher on first run; choose More info, then Run anyway.

Linux

Unpack, put oxidify on your PATH, and copy the desktop entry and icon from the bundled packaging/ directory if you want it in your launcher. Runtime needs are the ordinary desktop libraries: ALSA, PulseAudio or PipeWire, and Wayland or X11.

Or build from source: see Getting Started.
