First installation
Open the DMG and drag Daumhwa into Applications. After copying finishes, launch it from Applications. The app is Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple. If macOS cannot verify the developer, contact support instead of bypassing security settings.
Already using Daumhwa?
Open Settings → Check for updates, wait for the download, then choose Restart to install. The existing installation remains at NovelForge.app. Installing a separate DMG can leave two copies, so use the updater in your existing app.
Start with your manuscript
Create a project or open your existing project folder. Manuscripts and the story wiki stay in the folder you select. Keep a separate backup before working with an existing manuscript.
Basic and Pro
Basic provides free local editing, saving, export and backup. AI drafting, revision and wiki analysis require a Pro license plus your own Codex login or supported AI provider connection. AI account and API fees are separate.
In this release
Settings are now centered, with the scrollbar at the right edge. Korean and English settings were checked in the signed Mac release.
