Alternatively, download via Terminal:

                                curl -L -o ~/Downloads/Yout-macos.zip https://desktop.yout.com/download/Yout-macos.zip
                            

2

Extract the zip file

Double-click Yout-macos.zip in Finder. It will extract to Yout.app in the same folder.

Or via Terminal:

cd ~/Downloads && unzip Yout-macos.zip

3

Open the app (first time)

macOS Gatekeeper Warning

macOS blocks apps from unidentified developers by default. Since Yout Desktop is not distributed through the App Store, you'll see a warning on first launch. This is normal for any independent software.

Method 1: Right-click to Open (GUI)

Right-click (or Control-click) on Yout.app
Select Open from the menu
Click Open in the dialog that appears

Method 2: Terminal (removes quarantine flag)

xattr -cr ~/Downloads/Yout.app

Then double-click Yout.app normally to launch it.

Method 3: System Settings

Try opening Yout.app (it will be blocked)
Open System Settings → Privacy & Security
Scroll down — you'll see "Yout.app was blocked". Click "Open Anyway"

You only need to do this once. After the first launch, macOS will remember your choice.

4

Move to Applications folder

Drag Yout.app from your Downloads folder into the /Applications folder. This makes it accessible from Launchpad, Spotlight (Cmd+Space), and keeps it organized.

Or via Terminal:

mv ~/Downloads/Yout.app /Applications/

5

Add to Dock

Keep Yout in your Dock for quick access:

Open Yout from Applications or Launchpad
Right-click the Yout icon in the Dock
Select Options then Keep in Dock

6

Launch and sign in

Open Yout Desktop and sign in with your Yout.com account (or create one for free). Paste a video URL, choose your format, and start format shifting.

Uninstall

To remove Yout Desktop from your Mac:

rm -rf /Applications/Yout.app

If pinned to the Dock, right-click the icon → Options → Remove from Dock.

That's it — no installers or system files to clean up.
