Get OpenDMG. It is a free app store for open source Mac apps. Download OpenDMG.

Prefer to do it by hand? The developer's file is on GitHub: Cumba-v1.3.0.dmg (7.3 MB).

What is new in Cumba 1.3.0

### Added

- Spanish and French. Spanish comes in two versions, for Spain and for Latin America, each using the words macOS uses there (Ajustes del Sistema or Configuración del Sistema).
- The Chrome extension's options page speaks the same languages.

### Changed

- The README links the website, cumbanotch.com.
- English counts read right in the singular ("1 File", "1 more request waiting").
- Turkish reads more naturally and uses the words Chrome and macOS use in Turkish (uzantı, ekran resmi, izleme dörtgeni, Oturum Açma Öğeleri).
- Short texts beside the notch and in notifications stay short in every language.

### Installing

Open `Cumba-v1.3.0.dmg` and drag Cumba to Applications (or unzip the .zip and move the app there).

The app is ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so macOS warns on first launch.
Open it once, then allow it in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway, or run:

```bash
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Cumba.app
```

### Verifying

Check that a download was built by this repository's release workflow:

```bash
gh attestation verify Cumba-v1.3.0.dmg --repo LJASP-studio/Cumba
```

### SHA-256
