Download and install Lynx on your Mac

Download

Go to Download and choose Download for Mac. Lynx runs on Macs with Apple silicon (M1 or later) and macOS 14 Sonoma or later. The version for Intel Macs is coming. Not sure which Mac you have?

The download is a disk image (.dmg) of about 128 MB.

Install

1. Open your Downloads folder and double-click the .dmg file.
2. In the window that opens, drag the Lynx icon onto the Applications folder.
3. Eject the disk image (the ⏏ next to it in Finder’s sidebar). You can delete the .dmg file afterwards.

Open it

Open Lynx from Launchpad, from Spotlight (⌘ Space, type “Lynx”) or from the Applications folder.

The first time, macOS asks you to confirm that you want to open an app downloaded from the internet. Lynx is signed and notarized by Apple, so choose Open. If macOS says it can’t verify Lynx, you have a copy from before version 1.0.7. Download Lynx again, or see Lynx can’t be opened.

You don’t need an account. Every Pro feature is on for your first 14 days.
