If you have a MacBook Pro 2012–2017 and you are still on High Sierra, new versions of Fork (2.40+) simply crash. The official website and GitHub have long removed old releases, but the official CDN is still alive (checked on November 24, 2025).
100% working links to old versions (directly from cdn.fork.dev)
- Fork 2.37.dmg — the latest version that still runs on 10.13
- Fork 2.36.2.dmg — the most stable for High Sierra
- Fork 2.36.dmg — also works great
- Fork 2.35.1.dmg — a backup option
- Fork 2.34.dmg
- Fork 2.30.dmg — the last one without bugs in dark mode
- Fork 2.12.dmg — the oldest, but 100% runs even on 10.11
How to install (30 seconds)
- Download any DMG from the list above
- Open → drag Fork.app to “Applications”
- If macOS complains about “unknown developer” → System Preferences → Security & Privacy → “Open Anyway”
- Done! Trial works forever
Russian language
Fork → Preferences (Cmd + ,) → General → Language → Русский → restart.
How to set up auto-deployment to hosting (Beget, Timeweb, and any other)
- Open your website folder in Fork (File → Open)
- Once in Terminal, execute:
cd /path/to/website/foldergit initgit add .git commit -m "First version"
- In Fork: Remote → Add deployment server…
- Fill in:
- Protocol: SFTP
- Host: your server (e.g., s123.beget.com)
- Port: 2222 (Beget) or 22
- SSH login and password
- Path on the server:
/home/login/www/domain.ru/or/home/login/public_html/
- Click “Test Connection” → green checkmark → Save
- Now any commit → right-click → Deploy → your server → the site updates in seconds
You can enable auto-deploy: Preferences → Deploys → check “Deploy automatically after commit”.
