Installation

v2 Beta

HackDesk v2 beta is unsigned and uses manual updates. Existing v0.1.5 installs do not update to v2 automatically. Your settings under ~/.hackdesk are reused.

• macOS · Intel
• Windows · x64

On macOS, move HackDesk to Applications, then run:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/HackDesk.app"

If that does not work, try to open HackDesk once. Then open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to Security, and click Open Anyway. Authenticate and confirm Open.

On Windows, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may show an unknown publisher warning. Choose More info → Run anyway to continue.

Download each new beta manually from GitHub Releases.
