Download the current signed macOS build and connect it to a Server.
- Open the download page.
- Choose Download for macOS. The stable route always resolves to the current signed DMG selected by the release publisher.
- Open the DMG and move Nautilo into Applications.
- Launch Nautilo.
- In Connect to your Nautilo server, enter the exact Server URL supplied by your administrator and choose Connect →. Public Servers use HTTPS. For a Server running on this same Mac, use the loopback address printed by the local deployment.
- Sign in or claim an invitation.
Desktop does not create a new Server for you. If you are the operator, start with Railway or Docker Compose.
Before adding private work, confirm the Server name and sign-in identity. If connection fails, check the full address, including scheme and any port, with your administrator. Do not accept a certificate warning or claim an unknown Server to get past the failure. A local address only works on the machine it names; LAN access has separate limitations.
If connection works but sign-in does not, follow account recovery.
