Download
The newest build of RDMBench for Mac, signed, notarized, and updated by Sparkle.
Download RDMBench for Mac. That address always answers with the newest build, so it is the one to link and the one to give an assistant.
What you get
A disk image with RDMBench.app in it. Drag the app to Applications.
- Signed and notarized. The app and the disk image are signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, and the ticket is stapled, so Gatekeeper passes it on a bench with no internet.
- Not on the Mac App Store. The App Store’s sandbox does not fit the app, so it is distributed directly.
- Inside the app: the MCP server for AI assistants (Assistants) and the Claude Desktop extension that installs it.
Updates
RDMBench checks for a new version once a day: one request to
updates.rdmbench.com for the list of versions. A newer one is offered,
never installed without asking, and every update is checked against
RDMBench’s signature before it is opened.
- Turn the check off in Settings → General → Updates.
- Check by hand with RDMBench → Check for Updates….
Try it without a widget
In the Connect sheet, Use Simulator connects to three simulated fixtures: a moving head, a 4-channel dimmer and a dimmer rack. Every screenshot on this site is the simulator.
What a real bench needs is on Requirements.
