    Installers are being prepared for public release.

    Installation and tested environments

    On Windows, run the EXE to install. If SmartScreen shows a warning, check that the download came from munhaestudio.com. If your organization restricts installs, contact your administrator.

    On Mac, open the DMG and move Munhae to the Applications folder. The Apple Silicon installer is Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple. If the Intel version is blocked from opening, you can allow it under System Settings → Privacy & Security.

    The start screen and app connections have been checked on Apple Silicon Macs. Windows installation and launch have been checked on Windows Server 2022. Intel Macs and physical Windows 10/11 machines have not been verified yet. Please back up important documents before use.

    AI features require a supported CLI, installed and signed in separately. To update on Mac, download and install the new DMG.

    Questions?

    Is Munhae available in English?

    The current release (0.1.3) has a Korean interface, and AI translation produces Korean. An English interface and English translation output are in development.

    Is Munhae in beta?

    Yes. Munhae is currently in beta. Features and screens may still change, and some installation environments have not been verified yet. Please back up important documents. You can report problems or suggestions under Questions in the community.

    Do I need an account?

    You can create local projects and manage source texts and translations without signing up. Signing in to a Munhae account is optional.

    How does AI translation work?

    Munhae connects to the Codex, Claude, or Antigravity CLI that you have installed and authenticated on your computer. Save the source text, request a full-text translation, then generate the links between translation and source separately and review them. You need an account with the AI service you use, and its terms and costs may apply. AI translations and links need the researcher’s review.

    Where is my data stored?

    Source texts, translations, context and terms are stored in a .munhae project on your computer. When you run an AI feature, the material included in the request, such as the selected source and its context, is sent to the connected AI service. You can check what will be sent before each request. Project backups and review-copy export are also supported.
