From the maker

“Powerful software should feel inviting, not intimidating.”

I'm Nick, an independent maker who loves thoughtful Mac software and what AI tools make possible. Kitsail began with a simple idea: finding useful things should be as enjoyable as using them.

Download Kitsail

Version 0.5.0 · Apple Silicon · macOS 27+ · DMG for macOS

Verify the download

Compare this SHA-256 checksum to the DMG you downloaded.

Loading release checksum…

Before you install: Kitsail is currently ad-hoc signed and not notarized by Apple. macOS may block this early-access build. Only proceed if you trust its source and checksum. After attempting to open it, use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. Never disable Gatekeeper. Read Apple's instructions.

Good to know

A few details,
before you go.

Is Kitsail on the App Store?

Not yet. This is an independently distributed early-access build. Developer ID signing and Apple notarization are planned for a future release.

Do I need a GitHub account?

No. You can browse publicly available GitHub repositories without signing in. GitHub sign-in is optional.

Does Kitsail run downloaded scripts?

Its installer copies reviewed skill files without executing install scripts. However, AI agents may later act on instructions within those files. Review sources and keep your agent permissions limited.

Will it work on an Intel Mac?

The current development build targets Apple Silicon and macOS 27 or later. Intel Macs and older versions haven't been validated.

How do I install it?

Open the DMG, drag Kitsail to Applications, and eject the disk image. If macOS blocks the unnotarized app, follow the official security instructions linked above.
