amal66 gives Mike a proper Mac front door
A lightweight Mac app makes Mike feel desktop-native without splitting the product into two versions.
The app opens straight into Mike's hosted service, while self-hosted teams can point it to their own server. It keeps the web product as the single source of truth, with the practical desktop touches users expect.
- Native menus, remembered window size and right-click actions make routine navigation feel at home on macOS.
- A connection screen helps users recover when their chosen server is unavailable.
- In-app document downloads keep files moving without bouncing users into a browser.
- Sign-in popups and outside links are handled safely, while safeguards prevent untrusted pages or dropped files from taking over the app.
Apple signing and notarisation still need a release owner before a downloadable public build can ship.
So what Mac-based legal teams and self-hosters should care if they want a more familiar desktop experience without giving up control of where Mike runs.
