The download is not open yet. Kymatra is finished, and what you will get is the full app rather than a preview of one, but the disk image is not up here yet.
Email [email protected] and you will be told the day it is.
Setting it up
- Open the disk image and drag Kymatra to your Applications folder.
- Launch it. Kymatra has no window and no icon in the Dock — it lives in the menu bar, behind the mark you saw on the disk image.
- Allow audio recording when macOS asks. Kymatra reads what your Mac is playing, and macOS files that permission under the microphone. Without it the wallpaper stays flat, because there is nothing for it to draw.
- Open Settings from the menu bar to pick a mode and a colour.
If the wallpaper stays flat
Almost always this is the recording permission. Open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Microphone, and check that Kymatra is allowed. The permission can be granted long after launch and Kymatra will pick it up on its own.
If it still does nothing, use Copy Diagnostics in Settings and send it to [email protected]. It gathers what the app knows about your audio devices and recent activity, and it is put on your clipboard for you to read before you send it.
Removing it
Quit Kymatra from the menu bar and drag it to the Trash. If you had it opening at login, macOS removes that with the app. Two files are left behind, which you can delete if you want nothing remaining:
~/Library/Preferences/com.ianeguiarte.Kymatra.plist~/Library/Application Support/Kymatra/
