Install EaseKit

Install with one line in Terminal or from the disk image. After that, EaseKit keeps itself up to date.

EaseKit is a native Mac app for macOS 14 or later. You install it once, and from then on it updates itself from the sidebar. There are two ways in: a one-line installer, which is the quickest and skips the Gatekeeper warning, or the classic disk image.

Before you start

RequirementDetails
macOSmacOS 14 or later. Liquid Glass effects use the real material on macOS 26 and a close fallback on earlier versions
LocationEaseKit must live in your Applications folder to update itself
NetworkNeeded for the download, AI providers, share links, Google Fonts and update checks. Editing works offline
AI (optional)A Claude or ChatGPT subscription, or an Anthropic or OpenAI API key. You can explore without one

The installer downloads the latest version, verifies its checksum, puts EaseKit in Applications and opens it, without a Gatekeeper warning.

  1. Open Terminal (in Applications → Utilities, or search for it with Spotlight).
  2. Paste the line below and press Return.
  3. Wait a moment. EaseKit opens by itself when it's ready.
curl -fsSL https://github.com/finnmrtn/easekit-releases/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash

You should see the setup assistant within a few seconds. If an older EaseKit is already installed, the installer replaces it; your sessions and settings stay where they are.

Install from the disk image

  1. Download EaseKit.dmg from the releases page.
  2. Open the disk image and drag EaseKit into Applications.
  3. Open EaseKit. The first time, macOS may say it can't check the app. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.

Updates

EaseKit checks for new versions on its own. When one is ready, an Update card appears at the bottom of the sidebar: click Install and restart and EaseKit downloads the new build, verifies it, swaps itself in place and reopens.

Uninstall

  1. Quit EaseKit.
  2. Drag EaseKit from Applications to the Trash.
  3. Optional: delete the data folder ~/Library/Application Support/MoveKit to remove your sessions, styles and skills. Save projects you want to keep first.
