Beta builds are not yet notarised. Your OS will show a one-time warning on first launch — this is expected. On macOS, if you get "app is damaged", open Terminal and run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/MoonHandsMini.app — then double-click normally.

Three steps

  1. Download the file above for your operating system and open it.
  2. The MoonHandsMini app starts and opens in your browser automatically.
  3. Point your Max patch — or any OSC-capable app — at 127.0.0.1:30337. Confirm Incoming turns green and start capturing snapshots.

What it talks to

UI — http://127.0.0.1:10001  (your browser ↔ app)
OSC in — UDP 127.0.0.1:30337  (your OSC source → app)
OSC out — UDP 127.0.0.1:30338  (app → your OSC target)
Defaults match the bundled Max template. Any OSC-capable app works — point its send to the OSC in port and its receive to the OSC out port (or change either in the Bridge popup).
Loopback only. Nothing leaves your machine.
