Installing and updating Slurp

Install from the DMG

1. Download the current DMG from the Slurp website.
2. Open it and drag Slurp to Applications.
3. Launch the installed copy from Applications.

This matters particularly for the built-in Safari Companion, which expects Slurp to be installed in Applications.

Verify the download

The SHA-256 checksum for the current Slurp 1.0.2 (build 264) Apple silicon DMG is:

To verify the DMG in Terminal, run:

shasum -a 256 Slurp-1.0.2-mac-arm64.dmg

The result should begin with the checksum shown above.

Update the Slurp app

Open Slurp → Settings → General. Under Software Updates, leave Automatic updates enabled or choose Check Now. Slurp uses Sparkle to check for signed app updates and can download verified updates in the background. When an update is ready, Slurp can install it safely without requiring you to download a new DMG manually.

Compatibility can update separately

Slurp can also update its site-compatibility rules and managed download engine independently from the main app. These smaller updates help Slurp respond to provider changes without waiting for a full Slurp release. Slurp validates managed updates before using them.

If macOS blocks or warns about a download

Do not work around an unexpected security warning. Confirm that the DMG came from get-slurp.app, download it again if necessary, and use the Contact form if the warning remains.
