macOS Sonoma 14+ · Apple Silicon

Install in 30 seconds.

SlapChan isn't on the Mac App Store yet, so macOS will show a security warning on first launch. This is normal — and takes about half a minute to clear.

▎The walkthrough

Six clicks. Then forever.

  1. 1

    Download & drag

    Download SlapChan and drag it to your Applications folder.

  2. 2

    First launch

    Double-click SlapChan. You'll see a warning — click 'Done' or 'Cancel'.

  3. 3

    Open System Settings

    Go to → System Settings → Privacy & Security.

  4. 4

    Find the Security section

    Scroll down. You'll see: "SlapChan was blocked to protect your Mac."

  5. 5

    Click 'Open Anyway'

    Hit the button next to the message. macOS will ask once more — confirm.

  6. 6

    Enter your password

    Type your Mac password. Done — SlapChan opens normally from now on.

💡

This only happens once. After that, SlapChan opens like any normal app — silently into your menu bar at 12 MB.

▎FAQ

Install questions.

Why is macOS blocking SlapChan?
Because it's not from the Mac App Store. Apple doesn't recognize indie developers by default. The 30-sec setup above fixes this once and for all.
Is it safe?
Yes. SlapChan is just a fun desktop app. No data collection, no network calls, no shady stuff. Open-core, sandbox-friendly, and audited.
What if I get stuck?
Email support@slapchan.in and we'll help you personally. Or we'll refund you immediately, no drama.
Will it be on the App Store?
Eventually, but for now we're distributing directly to keep it fast and weird.
