JewelryBox - The Official OS X RVM GUI

In our world, people fall into one of two groups.

The Official OS X RVM GUI

Manage your rubies and gemsets with ease.

OS X 10.7 Lion or newer required. OS X 10.6 is no longer supported.
Internet connection required for downloading rubies and gems
PLEASE READ RVM NOTES AND REQUIREMENTS AFTER RVM UPGRADES

Show Some Love Download Current Version: 1.5

If you wish to use JewelryBox on OS X 10.6, download JewelryBox v1.3.
Using RVM 1.17 or newer with JewelryBox v1.3 will result in various application crashes.
Your mileage will vary. RVM 1.16.x is recommended for use with v1.3.

JewelryBox 1.4 and newer support OS X 10.7 and newer.

Features

Mountain Lion Compatible

JewelryBox v1.3 or newer is compatible with Mountain Lion. In fact, the application is signed with our Developer ID so you know it's from a trusted source and Gatekeeper won't complain.

RVM Installer

Don't have RVM installed? No problem! Let JewelryBox install it for you.

Switch Default Ruby

Switch your default ruby from the system menu bar or from the main window.

Growl Notifications

Get notified of RVM updates, environment synchronization, and more.

Ruby Installations Made Easy

Install Rubies with patches. Specify build architectures. Add compilation flags. Set the number of build threads for faster compiling. Even make the Ruby default post-installation.

Monitor RVM Disk Usage

Keep an eye on the disk usage meter that gives an accurate breakdown of what exactly is using disk space.

Manage Gemsets

Add, remove, wipe, and copy gemsets. Ccopy gemsets to different rubies. Enable globalcache to consolidate gems. Even spawn gem documentation servers.

Manage Gems

Add, remove, and even clean up old gem versions.

Roadmap

v1.6 will have a floating release date and feature set while the future of RVM 1 and RVM 2 is determined

FAQ

Is bash supported? yes
Is zsh supported? yes
Are Multi-User installations supported? yes
Are Mixed-Mode installations supported? no, but they probably work
Is OS X Leopard supported supported? no

There is a very small 10.5 user base. JewelryBox now uses ARC, which requires OS X 10.6 or newer.
Is OS X Snow Leopard supported? no
Testing on 10.6 is very time consuming and the majority of users are using OS X 10.7 or newer.

Xcode, GCC, LLVM, What?

So here's the deal. All Xcode versions up to about 4.1 shipped with the standard GCC-based compiler. Starting with Xcode 4.2.x, Apple introduced the LLVM-based compiler and started to phase out the GCC-based one. Xcode 4.3 comes with only the LLVM compiler, no GCC. Ruby 1.8.x require GCC for compilation. Ruby 1.9.3-p0 had slight support for LLVM but you were lucky to get it installed. Ruby 1.9.3-p125 or newer has improved compatibility with the LLVM compiler.

So here's the breakdown of what you need:

Ruby 1.8.x, Ruby 1.9.3-p0
Xcode 4.1 or osx-gcc-installer

Ruby 1.9.3-p125 or newer
Xcode 4.1 or osx-gcc-installer
- or -
Xcode 4.2.x or newer with command-line tools installed
