Why you see security notifications? CoApp is not code-signed: certificates cost $300-$500/year for macOS and Windows. As a free tool with no revenue, I cannot justify this expense. VirusTotal verification and open source transparency provide equivalent security assurance without the cost.

Step 3: Installation Instructions

Run CoApp once so MAX can detect it and show CoApp: Connected.

macOS

  1. Double-click the downloaded .dmg file.
  2. In the window that opens, drag mvdcoapp.app into the Applications shortcut.
  3. Open Terminal (Finder -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal, OR open Spotlight, type "Terminal", press Enter).
  4. Run this command to bypass Gatekeeper:
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/mvdcoapp.app" && open "/Applications/mvdcoapp.app"
    What this command do?
    When you download apps from the web, Apple adds quarantine attribute to disallow running them. The code above simply removes coapp from quarantine and runs it.
    The source code is published on GitHub - in case you want to inspect it.
Verification: click on extension icon → Settings, you should see CoApp: Connected. If it is stuck in "Checking..." state - Reopen popup again.

Windows

  1. Double-click the downloaded .exe installer.
  2. If SmartScreen appears: click More info -> Run anyway.
  3. Follow the setup wizard -> Install -> Finish.
Verification: click on extension icon → Settings, you should see CoApp: Connected. If it is stuck in "Checking..." state - Reopen popup again.

Linux

  • Autoinstall (recommended):
    Run this command in terminal:
    curl -sSLf https://github.com/Suwot/mvd-coapp/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash
  • Manual installation: Download tar.gz, extract anywhere (per-user only), and run ./mvdcoapp --install once to register with installed browsers.
Verification: click on extension icon → Settings, you should see CoApp: Connected. If it is stuck in "Checking..." state - Reopen popup again.
