@ -64,10 +64,19 @@ This :file:`kitty.app` unlike the released one does not include its own copy of
python and the other dependencies. So if you ever un-install/upgrade those dependencies
you might have to rebuild the app.
Note that the released :file:`kitty.dmg` includes all dependencies, unlike the
:file:`kitty.app` built above and is built automatically by using the :file:`kitty` branch of
`build-calibre <https://github.com/kovidgoyal/build-calibre>`_ however, that
is designed to run on Linux and is not for the faint of heart.

.. note::
Apple disallows certain functionality, such as notifications for unsigned applications.
If you need this functionality, you can try signing the built kitty.app with
a self signed certificate, see for example, `here
