FREE · NO ACCOUNT · NO TRIAL
Download Hangly.
Three builds, because Windows on ARM deserves its own. Pick the one that matches your machine, or let the button work it out.
Free download • macOS 14+ and Windows 10+ •
Quick answer
Hangly is free on macOS 14 or newer and on Windows 10 or newer. The Mac build is universal and runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel. Windows ships twice: an x64 build for Intel and AMD machines, and a native ARM64 build for Snapdragon laptops. There is no account, no trial and no paid tier.
Key takeaways
- The current Mac build is 2.0.0, a 34 MB download
- The current Windows build is 0.9.4, still a pre-release
- The Mac build is signed and notarised, so it opens without a Gatekeeper warning
- Windows is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen will ask once
- Both update themselves after installation — Sparkle on Mac, Velopack on Windows
The three builds
macOS
Needs: macOS 14+ · Apple Silicon & Intel
A universal build: one download runs natively on Apple Silicon and on Intel Macs.
First launch: It opens. The app is signed and notarised, so Gatekeeper has nothing to warn about.
Updates: Checks weekly through Sparkle and installs in the background. There is a Check for Updates button on the About page for anyone who would rather ask.
Windows (pre-release)
Needs: Windows 10+ · Intel & AMD 64-bit
For any Intel or AMD 64-bit machine, which is nearly every Windows PC.
First launch: SmartScreen may show a blue "Windows protected your PC" panel, because the build is not yet code-signed. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
Updates: Updates through Velopack, which checks on launch and applies the update the next time you start the app.
Windows on ARM (pre-release)
Needs: Windows 11+ · Snapdragon & ARM64
A native ARM64 build for Snapdragon and other ARM machines. The x64 build also runs there under emulation; this one does not need it.
First launch: SmartScreen may show a blue "Windows protected your PC" panel, because the build is not yet code-signed. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
Updates: Updates through Velopack, which checks on launch and applies the update the next time you start the app.
Which one do I need?
On a Mac, there is only one answer: the macOS build is universal and the same file runs on an M-series Mac and on an Intel one. Nothing to choose.
On Windows the answer depends on the processor, and the honest complication is that a Windows-on-ARM machine reports itself as Win64; x64 because the browser itself is usually running under emulation. Open Settings → System → About and read System type: if it says ARM-based processor, take the ARM64 build. Anything else — Intel, AMD, an older laptop — takes x64. If you take the wrong one, the x64 build still runs on ARM under emulation; the ARM64 build will not run anywhere else.
Vision, for Mac
Vision is the other app on this site: local face recognition for Mac with a native notch experience, and nothing leaves your machine. It needs macOS 15+ and is also free.
In short
Take the macOS build if you are on a Mac, the ARM64 build if Windows reports an ARM-based processor, and the x64 build otherwise. All three are free and all three update themselves afterwards. If the first launch looks like a warning rather than an app, the installation page covers what each operating system says and why.
