macOS Desktop App

T-Sketch is available as a native macOS desktop application. It gives you a dedicated app with its own Dock icon, native window controls, auto-updates, and deep linking — while running the same web application you already know.

Download

Download the latest version of T-Sketch for macOS:

Download for macOS

Requires macOS 12 (Monterey) or later. Requires Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4).

You can also download directly from the GitHub Releases page.

Installation

  1. Open the downloaded .dmg file.
  2. Drag T-Sketch to the Applications folder.
  3. Open T-Sketch from your Applications folder or Launchpad.
  4. On first launch, macOS may show a security dialog. Click “Open” to confirm — the app is signed and notarized by Apple, so it is safe to run.

Features

The desktop app provides a native macOS experience on top of the full T-Sketch web application:

  • Native macOS window — frameless design with traffic-light controls (close, minimize, fullscreen) and a draggable title bar area
  • Dock icon — persists across reboots, appears in Mission Control and Cmd+Tab app switcher
  • Native menu bar — File, Edit, View, and Help menus with standard macOS keyboard shortcuts
  • Auto-updates — new versions are delivered automatically; the app checks for updates every 4 hours
  • Deep linking — tsketch:// URLs open directly in the desktop app
  • Native file dialogs — export and import use the macOS Save/Open dialog so you can choose where to save your files
  • Keyboard shortcuts — zoom in/out, undo/redo, and all other shortcuts work the same way as in your browser
  • 8 GB memory limit — higher than the default browser limit, allowing you to work with large and complex sketches

Auto-Updates

The desktop app checks for updates every 4 hours. When a new version is available, you will see a notification inside the app. Click “Restart” to apply the update. Updates are downloaded in the background, so your work is not interrupted.

Because the desktop app loads the web application from sketch.tronor.com, most improvements are reflected instantly without needing a desktop update at all. Desktop updates are only required for changes to the native shell itself (menu bar, window behavior, etc.).

System Requirements

  • macOS 12 (Monterey) or later
  • Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4)
  • Internet connection required — the app loads sketch.tronor.com

For full browser and device requirements, see System Requirements.

Uninstalling

To remove T-Sketch from your Mac:

  1. Quit T-Sketch if it is running.
  2. Open the Applications folder in Finder.
  3. Drag T-Sketch to the Trash.
  4. Empty the Trash to free up disk space.

Other Platforms

T-Sketch is also available as a Progressive Web App (PWA) that works on any platform with a supported browser.
