## MacOS

[Lipika IME](https://github.com/ratreya/lipika-ime) works well on MacOS Ventura on Macbook Air M2 chip - March 2023. You will have to download the compiled `LipikaIME.pkg` file from it's github [releases page](https://github.com/ratreya/lipika-ime/releases).


Some screenshots as seen on MacOS Ventura (Mar 29, 2023).

Old notes:
