Install and pair the native Mac app
Choose Apple Silicon for M-series Macs or Intel for Intel-based Macs. The DMG bundles the app, worker, pairing flow, and launchd recovery; Python and Homebrew are not required.
Install
- Sign in to the owner control centre, open Add a computer, and create a pairing file.
- Download macOS · Apple Silicon or macOS · Intel.
- Open the DMG and drag Umbraco to Applications.
- Open Umbraco, select the pairing file and a dedicated project folder, then choose Pair and start.
- Choose Open remote work to review and approve command and application access.
- Confirm the computer appears online in the control centre.
Developer-build limitation
These packages are tested native developer builds but are not yet signed or notarized with an Apple Developer ID. If macOS blocks the app, stop and use a signed release when available. Do not disable Gatekeeper or weaken system security.
Sleep and sign-in behavior
The worker recovers through launchd after sign-in. It cannot receive work while the Mac is asleep or signed out. Wake-on-LAN additionally depends on Mac hardware support and correctly configured local networking, router forwarding, and public IPv4 reachability.
