Installing ParseKit

Fast path: Download the DMG → open it → drag to Applications → open from Applications.

You do not need git clone or Terminal for a normal install.

Requirements

  • macOS 12 (Monterey) or newer
  • Apple Silicon Mac (M1–M4) — Apple menu → About This Mac
  • ~200 MB free disk

1. Download

  1. Open Releases → Latest
  2. Download ParseKit_0.2.13_aarch64.dmg
  3. Find it in Downloads

2. Install

  1. Double-click the .dmg
  2. Drag ParseKit → Applications (not the Desktop)
  3. Eject the DMG
  4. Open ParseKit from Applications

3. First launch (Gatekeeper)

ParseKit isn’t notarized with Apple yet. You only do this once.

Easiest: in Applications, right-click ParseKit → Open → Open.

Or Terminal:

xattr -cr /Applications/ParseKit.app

Or: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.

4. Find it

ParseKit lives in the menu bar (top-right), not the Dock.
If you don’t see it, click the › overflow chevron on the menu bar.

Optional converters

Format Needs
PDF Nothing extra
Word / PowerPoint LibreOffice
Images (PNG, JPG…) brew install imagemagick

In the app: Settings → File Support shows what’s installed. Hit Recheck after installing.

Finder Quick Action

Settings → Finder → Install Finder Quick Action, then right-click a file → Quick Actions → Parse to Markdown with ParseKit.

Updating

Use the in-app gold banner (Install & Restart) when it appears.
Or download the latest DMG and replace the app. Settings are kept separately.
