Yet they both refuse to even start. As 2.3.0 and previous version of Sigil.
Such a pity. I'm on a Mac, running MacOS 12.7.6
You only need one of those not both.

The arm64 one will never run on an Intel mac. Is your mac a new SOC Arm64 mac or an older Intel (x86_64) Mac?

It works on a new Mac that never once had Sigil installed (as just tested on my wife's new MacBook Air) so it should work on yours.

So I need more info.

Did you download it from the official Sigil github release page?

How exactly did you unpack the archive? Did you double-click it?

What MacOS security settings do you have set? It says something like:
- "Only allow applications downloaded from the Mac App Store"
or
- "Allow applications downloaded from the Mac App Store and Identified Third Party Developers"

You need the second one of the above selected.
(See the attached screenshot for the exact wording.)

Exactly what happens when you double-click on the Sigil.app?

Can you please provide a screenshot of the error or warning that appears?
