Quick Install

Apple Silicon (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4):
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin && curl -L -o ~/.local/bin/fulcrum https://releases.fulcrumcode.app/v0.12.9/fulcrum-macos-arm64 && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/fulcrum && xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ~/.local/bin/fulcrum
Intel (x64):
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin && curl -L -o ~/.local/bin/fulcrum https://releases.fulcrumcode.app/v0.12.9/fulcrum-macos-x64 && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/fulcrum && xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ~/.local/bin/fulcrum

Not sure which Mac you're on? Run uname -m: arm64 means Apple Silicon, x86_64 means Intel. Installs into ~/.local/bin/ — no admin password required.

If `fulcrum` isn't found after install, add ~/.local/bin to PATH:
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc

Fulcrum Hotkey (optional)

A menu-bar companion that gives you Ctrl+Space access to Fulcrum from anywhere. Drag to Applications, launch once, and it starts automatically on login.
