### Download

| Platform | File | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| **macOS 14+** (Apple Silicon) | `Tilqos-1.0.0-macOS-arm64.dmg` | Not notarized: right-click → **Open** the first time. Grant **Accessibility** (and optionally Input Monitoring) in System Settings → Privacy & Security; because the build is ad-hoc signed, you must re-approve it after every update (see docs/PERMISSIONS.md). Also: `brew install --cask elapen/tap/tilqos` |
| **Windows** 10/11, *experimental* | `Tilqos-1.0.0-Windows-x64.zip`, `...-arm64.zip` | A Go port of the same engine. **Never run on real Windows by the author**: it compiles and its engine tests pass on a Mac, the hook, clipboard and tray code are unverified. Unsigned (SmartScreen warns). Testers welcome. |

### Highlights
