Get PrivDF for your Mac
The same app that runs at app.privdf.ai — native, offline-capable, signed and notarized by Apple, and still never uploads your files.
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
macOS 10.15 (Catalina) 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 — the call goes directly to your configured AI provider (Venice by default).
Installing
- Click Download for Mac above. The browser will save a
.dmgfile. - Double-click the
.dmgto open it. - Drag PrivDF into the Applications folder.
- 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.
