Salience

Appearance

Install Salience ​

Salience is a desktop app for macOS and Linux. macOS builds support Apple Silicon and Intel; Linux builds support x86_64 (AMD64).

Requirements ​

  • macOS 13 (Ventura) or newer, or Linux on x86_64
  • See the download page for current package sizes
  • A second monitor is recommended but not required — Salience is designed to be glanceable from across the room

Download ​

Download Salience → — pick the macOS or Linux package, with checksums.

On macOS, open the .dmg, drag Salience to your Applications folder, and launch it from Spotlight or Launchpad.

On Linux, install the .deb using your software installer, or make the .AppImage executable and run it. See the Linux installation instructions.

Pre-release status: Salience is in alpha and shipping early to a small group of users. It's free while it's in alpha; pricing comes later. Expect rough edges; please report what you find on the issues page.

First launch ​

On macOS, the first time you launch Salience, macOS will ask whether you trust the developer. Click Open.

Salience stores connector credentials — GitHub tokens, Jira tokens, and other secrets — in an encrypted local SQLite database at ~/Library/Application Support/clegginabox.salience/. The app itself does not collect or transmit those credentials. (Future releases will gate credential operations behind a biometric (Touch ID) prompt.)

Next steps ​
