Kyane how-to

A macOS local formatter and validator for JSON, SQL, XML, and curl.

Local format & validateReady

Overview

Formats and validates pasted content locally — JSON, SQL, XML, and curl — without sending anything online.

First launch

Open Kyane from Applications. Menu-bar apps put an icon in the menu bar rather than the Dock — if no window appears, that is where it went.

How to use it

The quick guide walks through Kyane step by step — read it here.

Settings

Settings live in the app’s own menu, under the standard macOS Settings item. Nothing is stored outside your Mac.

Updating the app

Kyane checks in the background and shows an Install item in its menu when a new version is ready. You can also ask directly with Check for Updates. Past versions are listed in the changelog.

Removing the app

Quit Kyane, then drag it from Applications to the Trash. Its preferences stay behind in ~/Library/Preferences until you remove them; nothing was ever sent anywhere else.
