How to install Rime on a Mac

  1. Get OpenDMG. It is a free app store for open source Mac apps. Download OpenDMG.
  2. Search for Rime and press Get. OpenDMG downloads version 1.0.0 from Yvsleyen00941'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.

What is new in Rime 1.0.0

First release of Rime: a PDF reader for macOS where only the page is left. Everything around it freezes over into frosted ice made from your wallpaper.

- Ice grows in from the screen edges when you start reading and melts when you switch apps
- Pinch and smart zoom, highlight, underline, notes, rectangles, ovals, lines and arrows, saved as standard PDF annotations
- A Liquid Glass control capsule that fades while you read
- Hide or keep the menu bar and Dock while reading (Settings)
- Follows Dark Mode, Reduce Motion and Reduce Transparency
- Export as PDF, or the current page as PNG or JPEG

Requires macOS 27. Rime isn't notarized: the first time, macOS won't open it. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
