PrivDF 1.0.25 · one-click install · automatic updates

Signed and notarized by Apple. When you double-click the .dmg you won’t see the “app from an unidentified developer” warning — macOS Gatekeeper recognizes it as legitimate. Your files still never leave your Mac; the signing is just so macOS will let it run.

System requirements

Direct download: macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or newer.
Mac App Store: macOS 12.0 (Monterey) or newer.
Apple silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) currently. Intel build coming.

Download size

About 16 MB. Installs to /Applications/PrivDF.app.

Network use

Only when you opt into AI features, or when the app checks for an update. AI calls carry extracted text to Venice — never your PDF file.

You do not have to take our word for what is in the file. Every value below is checkable from your own terminal before you ever run the app.

Check the checksum yourself:

shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/PrivDF-mac-arm64.dmg

And confirm the signature and notarization after installing:

codesign -dv --verbose=4 /Applications/PrivDF.app
spctl -a -vvv -t install /Applications/PrivDF.app

The second command should print source=Notarized Developer ID and the Team ID above. If it does not, do not run the app — tell us at support@privdf.ai. The direct .dmg is currently 1.0.34; the Mac App Store build is 1.0.25 and will catch up once the next store update clears review.

Installing

  1. Click Download for Mac above. The browser will save a .dmg file.
  2. Double-click the .dmg to open it.
  3. Drag PrivDF into the Applications folder.
  4. Open PrivDF from Applications. Future updates install automatically.

What about Windows / Linux / Intel Mac?

The Mac Apple-silicon build is the first signed release. A universal Mac binary (including Intel) and Windows builds are on the roadmap. In the meantime, the web app at app.privdf.ai runs on every modern browser and is functionally identical — same offline-first architecture, same AI features, no upload.
