How to install NullPlayer on a Mac

  1. Get OpenDMG. It is a free app store for open source Mac apps. Download OpenDMG.
  2. Search for NullPlayer and press Get. OpenDMG downloads version 0.32.0 from ad-repo's own GitHub release.
  3. Open it. The download is checked against its SHA-256 fingerprint and its signature is checked on your Mac before it lands in Applications.

Updates to NullPlayer show up in OpenDMG and install with one button. No account is needed.

Prefer to do it by hand? The developer's file is on GitHub: NullPlayer.dmg (64 MB).

What is new in NullPlayer 0.32.0

## Download

Download NullPlayer for macOS:

https://github.com/ad-repo/nullplayer/releases/latest/download/NullPlayer.dmg

Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or newer.

## Install

NullPlayer is not signed with an Apple Developer ID, so **macOS will block it on first launch** with an "app is damaged" or "cannot verify that it is free from malware" message. This is expected. Clearing the quarantine flag is a required install step:

1. Open the downloaded DMG.
2. Drag `NullPlayer.app` to Applications.
3. Open **Terminal** and run:
 ```bash
 xattr -cr /Applications/NullPlayer.app
 ```
4. Open NullPlayer from Applications.

Prefer not to use the Terminal? Install with Homebrew, or clear the block via **System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Open Anyway** — see the [install guide](https://github.com/ad-repo/nullplayer/blob/main/docs/download.md).

## What Changed

### New features
