Assume

Getting started

Installation

Install the desktop app first; the CLI and browser extension connect to it.

Desktop app (macOS)

  1. 01Download the latest disk image: Assume-0.15.4-arm64.dmg.
  2. 02Open the .dmg and drag Assume into Applications.
  3. 03Launch it. The app is signed and notarized, so macOS opens it without warnings.

Assume requires a Mac with Apple Silicon. It updates itself in-app from then on — you won't need this page twice. Windows and Linux builds are in the works.

CLI

Requires Node.js 22 or later. The @assume packages live on a dedicated registry — point npm at it once, then install:

Terminal
npm config set @assume:registry https://npm.atheeque.com
npm install -g @assume/cli
assume version

The CLI talks to the running desktop app over a local socket, so keep the app open while you use it.

Browser extension

The Chrome extension is not yet on the Web Store — it currently ships alongside the desktop app. Watch the changelog.
