Don't have Homebrew yet? Install it first:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"Then install StewardAuth:
brew tap shinyawave/tap
brew install --cask stewardauthIf Homebrew (6.0+) asks you to trust the tap, run once: brew trust shinyawave/tap.
First launch: StewardAuth is ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so macOS Gatekeeper blocks the first launch. Run once:
xattr -cr "/Applications/StewardAuth.app"…or right-click StewardAuth in Applications → Open → Open Anyway. Auto-updates afterwards install without this step.
No terminal required:
- Download
StewardAuth_0.1.0_aarch64.dmgfrom Releases. - Open the
.dmgand drag StewardAuth to Applications. - First launch: right-click StewardAuth → Open → Open Anyway (one-time Gatekeeper step; or run
xattr -cr "/Applications/StewardAuth.app").
By default, your accounts are saved as .maFiles in:
~/Library/Application Support/com.stewardauth.app/maFiles/
You can open this folder or move it anywhere (external disk, synced folder, etc.) from Settings → maFiles / Data directory inside the app. An optional master password encrypts the vault manifest — the account list & settings — with Argon2id + AES-256-GCM; the .maFiles themselves follow the classic Windows SDA plaintext-on-disk model, so keep this folder private and backed up.
