macOS FAQ
Do I need the Apple Silicon or Intel version?
It depends on your Mac. If you have an M1, M2, or M3 chip, download the aarch64 (Apple Silicon) version. If you have an older Intel Mac, download the x64 package. You can check this by clicking the Apple logo > About This Mac.
Why am I getting a 'cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified' error?
This is a macOS Gatekeeper prompt. Open Finder, right-click (or Control-click) the Lemon TV app, and select 'Open'. You will only need to do this once.
Is Lemon TV optimized for Mac?
Yes, the app is compiled individually for both Apple Silicon and Intel architectures, and uses macOS native rendering pipelines via Tauri, resulting in buttery smooth video playback with very low power usage.
