Which file to pick
| System | File | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 10/11 (x64) | Monky-<version>-win-x64-setup.exe | Installer — lets you pick the folder |
| Windows 10/11 (x64) | Monky-<version>-win-x64-portable.exe | Installs nothing, just run it |
| macOS (Intel / Apple Silicon) | Monky-<version>-mac-<arch>.dmg | Pick x64 (Intel) or arm64 (M1/M2/M3+) |
After downloading
Windows and macOS may show a warning the first time you open Monky, because the executables are not signed with a paid certificate yet. It is not a sign of a corrupted file.
- Windows: click More info › Run anyway.
- macOS: right-click the app and choose Open.
macOS: "The application is damaged and can't be opened"
On macOS (especially on Apple Silicon), Gatekeeper may block the app with the message "is damaged and can't be opened". The file is not corrupted — it's just the security quarantine, because the app is not notarized by Apple yet.
After moving Monky.app to the Applications folder, open Terminal and run:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Monky.appThen open the app normally. If it still complains, force a local (ad-hoc) re-sign:
sudo xattr -cr /Applications/Monky.app
codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Monky.appUpdates
The app tells you when a new version is out. You can also check under Settings › About and Updates › Check for updates.
On Windows the update applies itself: Monky downloads it, installs it and reopens.
On macOS the system will not replace an app that is running, so Monky downloads the .dmg, opens the install window and then closes itself. Drag Monky into your Applications folder, confirm the replacement and open the app again.
To confirm the file you downloaded is the one we published, see Verify Releases — every release ships SHA-256 checksums and a Cosign signature.
About the beta channel
Betas ship ahead of the stable release so you can try what is coming next. They go through the same build and signing pipeline, but may carry problems that have not surfaced yet. If you just want to use Monky, stay on stable.
You can receive betas through the app itself, without downloading anything by hand, under Settings › About and Updates.
About the CLI
The CLI is for hosting a server without a graphical interface, such as on a VPS. The full command reference is in Monky CLI, and the hosting guide is in Host on a VPS.
