Install
$ brew tap arpitagarwal1301/tap $ brew trust arpitagarwal1301/tap $ brew install --cask wardlume
Cleanest install: no “damaged” prompt, no quarantine cleanup. Homebrew 6+ asks you to trust a third‑party tap once; on older Homebrew skip the brew trust line. Update later with brew upgrade --cask wardlume.
- Download Wardlume-1.8.0.pkg (3.9 MB).
- Open it. If macOS calls it “unidentified”, right‑click → Open (or System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway) once.
- Click through the installer. Wardlume lands in Applications and opens normally.
- Download Wardlume-1.8.0.dmg (4.4 MB) and drag Wardlume into Applications.
- macOS will say “Wardlume is damaged”. It isn’t; unnotarized downloads are just quarantined. Clear it once:
$ xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Wardlume.appAfter installing
Open Wardlume from Applications. A guided setup asks for Screen Recording, Accessibility, and Input Monitoring, each used only while the ward is up. Why each one?
Updating
Since 1.7.4, Wardlume updates itself: Check for Updates… in the menu bar installs the new version in the app. On 1.7.3 or older, update once with:
$ brew upgrade --cask wardlumeNot notarized (yet)
Wardlume is signed but not notarized by Apple yet, which is why the direct downloads need a one-time step. Homebrew avoids it entirely.
