Install Desktop

Download the current signed macOS build and connect it to a Server.

  1. Open the download page.
  2. Choose Download for macOS. The stable route always resolves to the current signed DMG selected by the release publisher.
  3. Open the DMG and move Nautilo into Applications.
  4. Launch Nautilo.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
