Didon Installation Guide

Seven steps from signup to your first work log.

1. Sign up / purchase

Create an account and purchase Didon from your dashboard.

2. Download the app

Download Didon for macOS.

3. Install Didon

Unzip the archive and drag Didon.app into your Applications folder.

4. Remove quarantine flag

Open Terminal and run:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Didon.app

5. Install Ollama & model

Ollama runs AI models locally on your Mac. Didon uses it to analyze screenshots — your screen content never leaves your computer.

Download and install Ollama, then pull the recommended model:

ollama pull qwen3-vl:2b-instruct

6. Open Didon & grant permissions

Open Didon from Applications. Grant Screen Recording permission when prompted:

System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen & System Audio Recording

7. Define your context — you're done!

On first launch, add your projects and categories so Didon can label your work. Click Start in the menu bar and get back to work.
