Refman v0.8.1
v0.8.0
Install
Download the .dmg (drag Refman to Applications) or the .zip.
Refman is not signed with an Apple Developer ID, so macOS Gatekeeper
blocks it on first launch ("Apple could not verify… is free of
malware"). To open it, run this once in Terminal (sudo is needed
because the app files aren't owned by your user):
sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Refman.app
Then open Refman normally. (Alternatively, try launching it once, then
go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open
Anyway. On recent macOS the old right-click → Open trick no longer
works for unsigned apps.)

v0.7.1
What's new in 0.7.1
A focused follow-up to 0.7.0 that fixes a library-move data-loss bug and polishes Settings.
Fixes
- Moving your library actually moves it now. "Move to iCloud Drive" and "Move Back to This Mac" could previously leave you staring at an empty library — a stale leftover copy at the destination was shadowing the move. Refman now relocates the real database and PDFs, downloads any iCloud-only (evicted) files first so nothing is left behind, and restarts automatically to load the new location.
Improvements
- Tidier iCloud Sync settings. The long, overflowing library path is gone — there's now a Reveal in Finder button right on the sync status line, with the full path on hover.
- Friendlier contact email field. Settings no longer drops a blinking cursor into the email field the moment it opens, and the address is validated with inline feedback.
Install
Download the .dmg (drag Refman to Applications) or the .zip.
On first launch, open Terminal and paste the following, then open Refman normally:
sudo /usr/bin/xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Refman.app
v0.7.0
What's new in 0.7.0
Highlight notes ✨
- Attach notes to highlights. Click a highlight to open its bubble and add a note right there — no sidebar trip required.
- Notes as tooltips. Clicking a highlight reveals its note inline, and clicking the note text reopens the editor in place.
- Fast keyboard flow. The editor focuses immediately with a blinking caret, ⇧⏎ saves, and Esc dismisses the editor or the floating bubble.
Improvements
- AI Settings window with a customizable, per-app accent color (now using the native macOS accent rather than color swizzling).
- Inline collection rename in the sidebar, plus a reorganized Reading section and restructured AI Settings.
- iPad port groundwork.
Fixes
- Fixed an infinite-recursion crash when recoloring the accent selection.
- Fixed an extra color showing in Settings.
