The alpha isn’t code-signed or notarized yet, so macOS and Windows warn you the first time you open it. That warning is about the missing certificate. Here’s how to get past it.
Check that a download is the file I published

Compare the SHA-256 above with the one your computer works out. They should match exactly.

Mac (Terminal)

shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Recall_0.1.5_aarch64.dmg

Windows (PowerShell)

Every installer is also listed on the GitHub release page, with its digest. All releases.

After the download

Setup, once.

Three steps the first time. After that Recall is on for every set.

  1. 1

    Open Recall.

    On a Mac, drag Recall into Applications and open it. On Windows, run the installer.

    Recall’s welcome screen, with a field for your producer name and the Ableton connection status
  2. 2

    Let it install its Ableton script, then restart Live.

    Recall finds your Ableton User Library on its own and adds a small Control Surface script, the same built-in mechanism Live uses for hardware like Push. Live loads scripts when it starts, so restart it once.

    The bottom of Recall’s Settings: the What’s running panel, which lists Recall, the script it ships and the script Ableton has loaded
  3. 3

    Choose “Recall” as a Control Surface.

    In Live, open Preferences → Link, Tempo & MIDI and set an empty Control Surface slot to these values:

    Control Surface
    Recall
    Input
    None
    Output
    None

  4. Listening to Ableton

    That’s the status Recall shows when it’s connected. It’s on for every set from now on: open a project and it picks up where that version left off.
