Install Lamplighter on a Mac
Copy Lamplighter from its disk image into Applications, then check reading offline.
Before you start: The macOS DMG from the Lamplighter download page and a Mac that can run the offered build.
Step by step
-
Open the disk image.
Download the Mac DMG. In Finder, open Downloads and double-click the DMG to mount it.
-
Copy the app to Applications.
Drag Lamplighter into Applications. Wait for the copy to finish, then eject the mounted disk image in Finder.
-
Open the installed copy.
Open Applications and double-click Lamplighter. If macOS asks whether to open an app downloaded from the internet, check its name and approve it. If Apple cannot verify the app or reports damage, send the exact message to support so we can check that build.
-
Check offline reading.
Open a bundled edition, make a sample note, and quit the app. Disconnect from the internet and reopen Lamplighter from Applications. Check that you can read and return to the note.
What encryption covers
After you set up protection, Lamplighter encrypts the libraries and personal study data held in its protected storage on this device. Ordinary native app storage is not automatically covered. Public installers may contain readable bundled Bibles; protection setup does not encrypt the installer you downloaded.
Encryption and a game appearance cannot guarantee safety or privacy. Exports, backups, browser history, and operating-system records can have different protections. Read Lamplighter’s privacy policy.
These downloads are part of the first public testing wave. Try the field checklist and send feedback with your device, app version, steps, and result.
