Install on Mac

The current download is the Windows installer, from flockbay.com. There is no Mac disk image to open, and nothing to drag into Applications yet.

When the Mac release ships, it will be a signed, notarised disk image for Apple Silicon. Until then, install on Windows.

Flockbay ships with its own copy of the Godot engine rather than asking you to install one. That copy is what your game runs on, and it is pinned to an exact version so that a project built today still behaves the same way later.

That is most of the size of the download. It also means the app works the moment it is installed, with nothing else to set up.

Flockbay checks for a newer build once, shortly after it opens. If there is one, you are offered it in the app; downloading, verifying and installing all happen there, and the app relaunches itself to finish.

There is no background polling. If you want to check between launches, there is a "Check for updates…" item in the app menu.
