Install

Homebrew

brew install --cask sergioarojasm98/tap/freeleapp

Freeleapp is in its own tap, not in the main Homebrew repository, hence the sergioarojasm98/tap/ prefix. The command adds the tap the first time. To use the short name, add the tap once yourself:

brew tap sergioarojasm98/tap
brew install --cask freeleapp

Freeleapp then updates itself, so brew upgrade skips it, and brew list --versions freeleapp keeps showing the version you installed with Homebrew. To upgrade through Homebrew anyway, run brew upgrade --cask --greedy freeleapp.

Download

1. Download the latest Freeleapp-<version>-arm64.dmg from GitHub Releases.
2. Open the DMG and drag Freeleapp to Applications.
3. Open Freeleapp from Applications or Spotlight.

Freeleapp is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so macOS opens it without extra steps.

Note

Versions up to 1.1.0 were not notarized and needed xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Freeleapp.app before the first launch. From 1.2.0 on, that is no longer necessary.

Moving from Leapp

You don’t need to copy anything by hand. The first time Freeleapp starts:

• It copies ~/.Leapp to ~/.freeleapp, so your sessions, integrations and named profiles appear as they were. Leapp plugins are not supported. ~/.Leapp is not modified and stays as a backup.
• It moves each keychain item from the Leapp service to Freeleapp the first time it is needed. macOS may ask you to allow Freeleapp to use an item; choose Always Allow.

The copy happens once. Changes you make later in Leapp are not brought over, so quit Leapp and use Freeleapp from then on. Once everything works, you can delete Leapp.app and, later, ~/.Leapp.

You may have to sign in to your identity provider once more, because browser login state is stored per app.

Uninstall

With Homebrew:

brew uninstall --cask freeleapp          # keeps your sessions and settings
brew uninstall --cask --zap freeleapp    # also removes ~/.freeleapp and the app's caches and logs

Without Homebrew, quit Freeleapp, delete it from Applications and, to remove your configuration, ~/.freeleapp. Keychain items stay either way: delete the Freeleapp entries in Keychain Access if you no longer need them.
