Why Xly?
Social media is designed to keep you scrolling. Xly flips the script — giving you the parts of X you actually need (DMs, notifications) while limiting the addictive parts.
- No API keys that can get your account suspended
- No third-party servers that see your data
- No monthly subscriptions that drain your wallet
- No permissions that invade your privacy
Perfect for
Installing
- Open Xly.dmg and drag Xly into your Applications folder.
-
Because Xly is a free app distributed outside the App Store, macOS may say it
"is damaged" on first launch. This is just Gatekeeper — to allow it, open
Terminal and run:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Xly.app
Then open Xly normally. - That’s it — sign in to X and everything runs locally on your Mac.
Free. Forever private.
No subscriptions. No servers. Just a simple, private, local app that respects your time and data.
