Download Umbra
Free during the beta.
Windows
↓ WINDOWS X64Because the app is not yet signed, Windows SmartScreen may warn that it protected your PC
; click More info, then Run anyway.
Keep the default install location. The installer lets you choose where to install Umbra, but keep the default (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Umbra). Automatic updates work by replacing Umbra's own folder, which is only possible where it can write without administrator rights: installing elsewhere, in particular Program Files, will break updates.
macOS
↓ MACOS ARM64Because the app is not yet notarized, macOS blocks it on first open with a message that it could not verify
the package. To allow it:
- Click Done on the warning (not Move to Trash).
- Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
- Scroll down to the Security section, find the message about the
.pkg, and click Open Anyway. - Confirm Open Anyway and enter your password when prompted.
Open Umbra from Spotlight (press ⌘ + Space and type Umbra
) or from Launchpad. The installer puts it in the Applications folder inside your Home folder, which is not the Applications shortcut in the Finder sidebar (that one is the system-wide folder). Leave it there: moving it elsewhere, including into the system Applications folder, will break automatic updates.
