The Inform App for macOS

What’s New

A new version of the Inform App is now available here. The minimum requirement is now macOS 10.14.6 (Mojave). Users of older macOS versions can of course continue using previous versions from here.

  • The launcher screen shows the latest News from the IFTF.
  • Colour schemes have been introduced (see the new preferences pane).
  • Support for Dark Mode.
  • Support for Basic Inform.
  • Fixes for skeins misdrawing in some cases.
  • Apple Silicon native (while still supporting Intel Macs).
  • A great deal of modernisation has gone on under the hood, but this still remains a work in progress.
  • Support for Inform 6 projects has been removed.

Work in the Pipeline

  • Mac App Store Version.
  • Longer term: Modernisation to Swift, and away from deprecated APIs.
