Install Cozy

Cozy is a desktop app for macOS and Windows. A Linux build may follow, and a separate mobile app for iPhone and Android is in development.

Download

1. Head to the download page.
2. Cozy picks the right file for your computer automatically. If you’d rather choose, both the Apple Silicon and Intel builds for Mac, and the Windows installer, are listed there.
3. Open the downloaded file and follow the usual install steps for your system.

Which Mac do I have?

Most Macs sold in the last few years use Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, and newer). If you’re not sure, open the Apple menu → About This Mac and look at the chip line. When in doubt, the Apple Silicon build is the right one for any recent Mac.

Opening it the first time

The very first time you launch Cozy, your computer may ask you to confirm you want to open an app downloaded from the internet. That’s normal. Confirm, and Cozy opens to its welcome screen.

From there you’ll activate your license and then create your first journal.

Updates

Cozy keeps itself up to date. While the app is open it quietly checks for new versions every few hours, and whenever you click back into the window. When a new release is ready, a small notice appears in the sidebar. Click it to update. You can also check any time from Settings → Check for updates.

Every update to your version of Cozy is free, fixes and new features alike.
