Questions

macOS says Melvin cannot be opened

The build is signed and notarized, so this normally means the copy is still quarantined, for example because it was moved between machines. Control-click Melvin in Applications, choose Open, then confirm once.

I granted a permission but Melvin still cannot act

macOS applies Accessibility and Automation grants when an app restarts. Quit Melvin from the menu bar icon and launch it again.

I have an Intel Mac

This build is Apple Silicon only. There is no Intel build, and Rosetta will not help because the native helpers are arm64.

How do updates work

Melvin checks the stable release channel and updates itself in the background, so you only need to download from this page once.

How do I remove it

Quit Melvin, drag it from Applications to the Trash, and delete the ~/.melvin folder to clear local state. Revoke the permission grants in System Settings → Privacy & Security.
