Opening it on a Mac
- Open the zip and drag Needlfy into Applications.
- Needlfy isn't notarized, so the first time macOS blocks it. Open it once, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
Opening it on Windows
- Double-click needlfy-windows-x64.exe. There's nothing to install.
- Needlfy isn't code-signed, so Windows may say "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway.
