macOS Installation

Removable media is recommended. XColdPro runs from a USB drive or from an internal drive — both are fully supported and carry the same protection. Running from removable media is a portability and air-gap choice, not a requirement of the encryption.


Step 1: Prepare External Drive Open Disk Utility → Select external drive → Erase. Format: APFS (Mac-only) or exFAT (cross-platform). Scheme: GUID Partition Map.

Step 2: Install Application Double-click .dmg → Drag XColdPro.app to external drive folder. Eject DMG after copy completes.

Step 3: Bypass Gatekeeper & Verify Control-click XColdPro.app → "Open" → Confirm. Grant Full Disk Access in System Preferences → Security & Privacy. Disable WiFi before wallet operations.


Apple Silicon: XColdPro includes universal binary — native performance on M1/M2/M3. No Rosetta required.
