- No installation for Intel Macs: there is currently no build available for Intel Mac chips.
- No icon on Mac: the macOS version lacks the FileSpark logo.
- Easier installation on Mac: the Windows version is currently easier for users to install and run.
FileSpark for macOS
Unzip and drag FileSpark.app into your Applications folder. Requires Java 17 or newer with JavaFX (e.g. Azul Zulu FX). On first launch, grant FileSpark Accessibility permission in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility so global hotkeys work.
Linux or other platforms
Run the cross-platform JAR directly. Requires Java 17 or newer with JavaFX (e.g. Azul Zulu FX).
