getting started

Installation

Download the latest release from GitHub Releases. Both platforms are available on the same releases page — download the file that matches your OS.

macOS

Download the .dmg disk image
Open the .dmg and drag MoreInfo.app to your Applications folder
Launch MoreInfo from Applications or Spotlight

Gatekeeper notice — On first launch macOS may warn that the app is from an unidentified developer. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click Open Anyway.

Windows

Download the .exe installer
Run the installer — it will install MoreInfo and create a Start Menu shortcut
Launch MoreInfo from the Start Menu or the desktop shortcut

SmartScreen notice — Windows may show a "Windows protected your PC" warning on first run. Click More info, then Run anyway.

Create a Datastore

The first time you open MoreInfo it will create its datastore at the default location for your platform:

Platform	Default location
macOS	`~/Documents/MoreInfo`
Windows	`%USERPROFILE%\Documents\MoreInfo`

You can move the datastore to any folder — iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, a local folder, anywhere.

Sync & Backup

Your datastore is just a folder. You can sync it however you like:

Method	Notes
iCloud Drive	Works great on macOS. MoreInfo detects external changes automatically.
Dropbox / OneDrive	Fully supported on both platforms.
git	Excellent for version history. MoreInfo ignores `.git` folders.
syncthing	Works well for self-hosted, cross-platform sync.

System Requirements

OS version	macOS 13 Ventura+	Windows 10 (1803+)
Architecture	Apple Silicon (M1 or later)	x86-64 (64-bit)
