Getting started

  1. Create your free account if you do not have one yet.
  2. Start the app and sign in with the same email and password. Your licence and edition are checked automatically.
  3. The app checks for new versions when it starts and offers to update itself – one click and a restart.

First start

  • Windows: SmartScreen may warn about a new app – choose More info › Run anyway.
  • macOS: unzip and move ScaffPilot to Applications. The first time macOS says “Apple cannot check it for malicious software” – click OK, then right-click ScaffPilot › Open › Open. On macOS 15 and newer: System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway. After that it starts normally.
  • Linux: make the file executable (chmod +x) and run it.
  • ScaffPilot runs in one window at a time. If it says “Unable to start server”, ScaffPilot is already open – switch to that window.

Prefer no download at all? Open ScaffPilot in the browser – it is the same app.
