Install RadMyk on macOS

Drag RadMyk to Applications, open it the first time with right-click, then grant Microphone and Accessibility. Here's each step and the snags people hit.

macOS

RadMyk runs on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 or newer). Intel Macs are not supported.

Install it

  1. Open the downloaded .dmg and drag RadMyk into your Applications folder. Move it out of the disk image - don’t run it from the mounted .dmg (that causes the Accessibility problem below).
  2. First launch only: right-click (or Control-click) RadMyk and choose Open, then Open again. macOS shows this prompt the first time because the app is new to your machine; after that it opens normally.
  3. The setup window walks you through downloading the speech model and getting it ready. This is a one-time download; after it finishes, RadMyk works offline.

If macOS still refuses to open it after the right-click step, it usually means the app is being blocked as “downloaded from the internet.” Move it to Applications and try the right-click Open again, or email g3pd.rad@gmail.com and we’ll send the exact terminal command to clear the flag.

Grant two permissions

When setup finishes, macOS asks for:

  1. Microphone - so RadMyk can hear you. Click Allow.
  2. Accessibility - so RadMyk can place text at your cursor automatically. Without it, your dictation is still copied to the clipboard and you paste it yourself with Cmd+V.

If you miss the Accessibility prompt, RadMyk has a built-in helper that detects it and walks you through turning it on. See Dictation lands in the clipboard instead of at my cursor.

Common first-run snags

  • “RadMyk can’t be opened.” Use the right-click → Open step above instead of double-clicking.
  • Dictation copies to the clipboard but doesn’t paste. Accessibility isn’t on yet, or you’re running the app from the disk image. Move it to Applications and grant Accessibility.
  • Setup seems stuck. You can click Continue to move on; the setup keeps working in the background and retries on its own.
