Version 0.3.1

Take Twiddle with you

Free, and yours to keep. No account needed, no telemetry, and not one of your notes on our servers — ever. Every note is a plain file on your own disk.

Or use it in the browser

macOS & Windows

Twiddle turning raw markdown into rendered text as it is typed

Every build

macOS

.dmg — Apple Silicon & Intel

One universal disk image covering both Apple Silicon and Intel. Open it and drag Twiddle to Applications.

Windows

.exe installer

An installer that sets Twiddle up for your user account only, so updates never ask for an administrator. An .msi is on the release page if you'd rather deploy that way.

Linux

soon

No Linux build yet. The web app installs as a PWA and behaves much the same, minus the native file dialogs.

All releases and checksums on GitHub

The first launch will warn you

Twiddle isn't code-signed yet — certificates cost money an experiment hasn't earned. Both systems will say so, once. Here's exactly what you'll see and what to press.

macOS

macOS blocks the first launch because Twiddle isn't signed with an Apple Developer certificate. Right-click the app and choose Open, then confirm — once only. If macOS calls the app damaged, run xattr -cr /Applications/Twiddle.app.

Windows

SmartScreen warns about an unrecognised publisher, for the same reason: no code-signing certificate yet. Choose More info, then Run anyway.

Once installed, Twiddle updates itself — this is the last time you'll download it by hand. What each version changed is in the changelog.
