Install the Mac app

Download Asomium and run it for the first time.

Asomium ships as a single notarized .app bundle. No package manager, no admin install — drag it to /Applications and run.

Download

Grab the latest build from the Asomium download page. The file is a .dmg containing Asomium.app. Open the DMG, drag the app to your Applications folder, eject the DMG, and launch.

First run

The first launch shows a four-step onboarding carousel:

  1. Connect App Store Connect — paste your API key, key ID, and issuer ID. Asomium stores them in Keychain, scoped to the app’s bundle ID. They never leave your machine.
  2. Pick your starter app — Asomium fetches your full app list from ASC and lets you pin the apps you ship regularly.
  3. Optional: connect Anthropic — paste an Anthropic API key if you want one-click AI translation across locales. Skip if you don’t.
  4. Done — you land in the metadata grid for the first app you picked.

Permissions you’ll be asked for

  • Keychain — to save your ASC credentials securely.
  • Folder access (one-time, per project) — when you point Asomium at your Xcode project for build & ship.

Asomium never asks for full-disk access, network access prompts (it’s a network-enabled app — macOS doesn’t sandbox network), or accessibility permissions.

Updating

Asomium checks for updates on launch via Sparkle. New builds appear in a non-blocking sheet — install when convenient.
