Each file is listed with its SHA-256 in the signed update manifest.

Homebrew (macOS)

On a Mac with Apple silicon you can install Shellvane with Homebrew. First add the Shellvane tap and trust it (recent Homebrew refuses third-party taps until you do), then install.

Add and trust the tap (once)

brew tap csturiale/shellvane && brew trust csturiale/shellvane

The app

brew install --cask shellvane

The command-line companion (macOS and Linux)

brew install shellvane-cli

The app updates itself (Settings › Updates); brew upgrade --cask --greedy shellvane works too. The CLI updates with brew upgrade. Uninstalling keeps your hosts and vault (in ~/Library/Application Support/Shellvane).

Uninstall

brew uninstall --cask shellvane

macOS says Shellvane cannot be opened?

Until the app is notarized by Apple, macOS blocks it on first open when it is downloaded with a browser ("Apple could not verify…", Move to Trash). Installed with Homebrew it opens normally. With the disk image: open System Settings › Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway for Shellvane (once), or run in Terminal:
