macOS (Intel) — pick the x64 DMG
Windows — installer or portable .exe

macOS — please allow the app

We are working on obtaining an Apple Developer signature and notarization. Until then, macOS may block DevBench on first launch — this is expected, not a bad download.

Right-click DevBench in Applications → Open → confirm Open again. If macOS says the app is damaged or corrupted, use the same right-click → Open flow.
