Updates. Help → Check for Updates… asks GitHub whether a newer release exists and links to it. HttpDash never checks on its own.
First launch. A build made without signing certificates is ad-hoc signed on macOS and unsigned on Windows, so:
- macOS: the first launch is blocked with "Apple could not verify HttpDash is free of malware". Click Done, then open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway. Or run
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/HttpDash.appin Terminal. (Right-click → Open no longer works on macOS 15 and later.) - Windows: SmartScreen may warn. Choose More info → Run anyway.
From source: with Node.js 22 or later and git, npm install then npm start. Building installers is described in CONTRIBUTING.md.
