Hangly for Mac.
One universal build for every Mac made in the last decade, signed, notarised, and free.
Free download • macOS 14+ and Windows 10+ •
Quick answer
Hangly for Mac is a free 34 MB download that needs macOS 14 or newer. It is a universal build, so one file runs natively on Apple Silicon and on Intel Macs. It is signed with a Developer ID and notarised by Apple, which means it opens on first launch without a Gatekeeper warning, and it keeps itself up to date through Sparkle.
Key takeaways
- Version 2.0.0, 34 MB, free
- Needs macOS 14 Sonoma or newer
- Universal: Apple Silicon and Intel, no Rosetta
- Signed and notarised — no unidentified-developer warning
- Updates weekly through Sparkle, in the background
Requirements
macOS 14 Sonoma or newer, on any Mac Apple has shipped with it. A universal build: one download runs natively on Apple Silicon and on Intel Macs. The app draws its charms as vectors rather than shipping a bitmap of each one, which is why a 30-charm app is a 34 MB download rather than the 89 MB it used to be.
It runs as an ordinary app, not a system extension and not a background daemon. There is nothing to grant it in System Settings and no permission prompt on first launch.
Installing it
The download is a disk image. Open it, drag Hangly into Applications, eject the image and launch the app. A charm appears hanging from the top of your screen, and the rest is in the menu bar. The full sequence, including what to do if anything looks unexpected, is on the installation page.
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.
Every release is listed on the changelog, which is generated from the same feed the updater reads — so the page and the update can never disagree about what changed.
Frequently asked questions
Does Hangly run on Apple Silicon?
Yes, natively. The download is a universal build, so the same file runs on M-series Macs and on Intel Macs without Rosetta.
Will macOS warn me about an unidentified developer?
No. The app is signed with a Developer ID and notarised by Apple, so Gatekeeper opens it without a warning.
What version of macOS does Hangly need?
macOS 14 Sonoma or newer. Older versions are not supported because the app is built against APIs introduced in 14.
How does Hangly update itself on a Mac?
Through Sparkle. It checks weekly against the feed on this site and installs quietly in the background. There is a Check for Updates button on the About page if you would rather ask.
Where does Hangly put itself?
Wherever you drag it, which is normally the Applications folder. It is an ordinary app bundle with no installer and no background daemon.
How do I remove it?
Quit it from the menu bar and move it to the Trash. Preferences live in ~/Library/Preferences and any custom charm images in the app's container; both can go with it.
In short
One file, free, macOS 14 or newer, universal across Apple Silicon and Intel, and notarised so it opens without an argument. Install it by dragging it to Applications; it updates itself from then on.
