Install

grrclone runs on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 14 or later.

Homebrew

brew install --cask mlaify/tap/grrclone

Homebrew owns updates: brew update && brew upgrade --cask grrclone. grrclone can be asked to check for new releases, but it never replaces its own bundle.

It comes from the M&L AI tap rather than homebrew-cask because homebrew-cask asks for a minimum number of stars, forks or watchers that a new project doesn’t have yet. The cask passes audit, and it will move to homebrew-cask unchanged once it qualifies.

DMG

Download the latest DMG from Releases and drag grrclone to Applications. It’s signed and notarised, so Gatekeeper opens it without a warning.

Every release carries a Sigstore-signed provenance attestation:

gh attestation verify grrclone.dmg --repo mlaify/grrclone

First run

grrclone appears in the menu bar, with no Dock icon. It finds the remotes already in your rclone.conf and lists them; connect one and it appears in Finder, under ~/grrclone by default. It reads rclone.conf but never writes it, so your command-line setup keeps working as before.

If you already mount remotes with a launchd job, see Migrating from a hand-rolled launchd mount, which keeps your paths.
