Mac - Compiled on Mac OS 13.6.6 (Ventura) with an M1 Pro MBP. Requires macOS >= 11.0. I created versions for both chipsets used in Apple machines, ARM and Intel. ARM development will be the default going forward, though I will do my best to continue supporting Intel Macs.

1. Depending on the processor your Mac has, choose the appropriate download.
2. Unzip the compressed file.
3. Double click the "ZOIA Librarian.app" file to launch the application.

• Apple's security may require you to right-click and select "Open" to run the app the first time to verify it. Subsequent starts will only require a double-click.
• If it still does not allow you to open it and displays "ZOIA Librarian is damaged and can't be opened", try the following command in a terminal (replacing the path with the location of your app file):
  xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Users/<USERNAME>/Downloads/ZOIA\ Librarian.app
  then double click to open.

Windows - Compiled on Windows 11 23H2, OS build 22631.4317.
