How do I install Korva on a Mac?

Korva runs on macOS 12 (Monterey) or later. There is one download for every Mac: it works on both Intel and Apple silicon (M1 and later). You don’t need an account to install or use it.

Download and install

1. Go to the download page.
2. Under macOS, click Download on the Disk image (.dmg) card.
3. Open the downloaded file (it’s in your Downloads folder). A window opens with the Korva icon and your Applications folder.
4. Drag Korva onto Applications.
5. Close the window. In Finder’s sidebar, click the eject button next to Korva to put the disk image away. You can then delete the .dmg file.

Open Korva the first time

1. Open Applications in Finder and double-click Korva. You can also find it in Launchpad or with Spotlight (⌘SpaceCtrl+Space, then type Korva).
2. macOS asks: “Korva” is an app downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it? Click Open.

macOS asks this only once. Korva is signed and notarized by Apple, so there is nothing to change in System Settings.

The start screen appears. From here you can open a .pub file, start a blank page or pick a template.

Next: open your first .pub file or take the tour of the Korva window.

Update or remove Korva

• Korva checks for new versions when it starts and asks before it downloads anything. See How do I update Korva?
• To remove it, quit Korva and drag it from Applications to the Trash. Your .kva files, PDFs and .pub files are not touched.
