Download

Free, no account, no telemetry. Later updates install from inside the app, signed and verified.

macOS

Apple Silicon
brew install --cask lucasraffalli/charon/charon
or Charon_1.2.8_aarch64.dmg
  1. 1Homebrew installs the app and takes care of Gatekeeper. With the .dmg, drag Charon into Applications.
  2. 2With the .dmg only, once: macOS thinks the app is damaged because it is not notarized. Right-click then Open is not enough.
  3. xattr -cr /Applications/Charon.app
  4. 3Add a server, check it with Test, then come aboard.

Windows
