Troubleshooting

Common issues when installing and running Didon on macOS.

Didon Opens But Does Not Analyze

Check that Ollama is running:

curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags

If it is not running, start Ollama.

Pull the model you chose during installation. For example:

ollama pull qwen3-vl:4b-instruct

Make sure Didon is enabled here:

System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen & System Audio Recording

After changing this permission, quit and reopen Didon.

Didon is not yet notarized during the MVP stage, so macOS Gatekeeper may block it on first launch.

Try right-clicking the app and choosing Open first. Only if you still see a warning, remove the quarantine flag:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Didon.app

We plan to notarize the app with Apple in a future release so this step will no longer be needed.
