Beta

Early preview — things will move fast

Rewire Desktop is a work in progress. You might hit rough edges, and your computer may show a security prompt when you install it — especially on Mac. That's expected for now, not a sign that anything is wrong with the app.

Mac won't open it? Try this

  1. 1Open the download, drag Rewire into Applications, like any other app.
  2. 2If double-clicking shows a scary message — “can't be opened,” “damaged,” or similar — right-click Rewire in Applications and choose Open. Click Open again when Mac asks. You only need to do this once.
  3. 3After that, Rewire opens normally from your Dock or Applications folder like any other app.

On Windows, SmartScreen may show a similar “Windows protected your PC” screen — choose More info, then Run anyway.
