I have quietly been waiting for Open-Sankoré to update and support OS X Yosemite and/or El Capitan. OpenBoard (a fork of Open-Sankoré) works on OS X Yosemite and El Capitan, and looks pretty much identical.

Finding OpenBoard can be a little difficult, but can be downloaded here.

Interesting enough, Uniboard (the software that Open-Sankoré was based on) works in OS X El Capitan. The origin site to download it, however, does not:

Uniboard can be downloaded from Download.com

So, Uniboard and OpenBoard can both work on recent versions of OS X. My recommendation at the moment would be OpenBoard.

Open-Sankoré does not work with OS X Yosemite. If you run the program in OS X 10.10, Open-Sankoré closes immediately. The only workaround I have discovered is rolling back to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). The Open-Sankoré website does not provide much insight on when this issue might be fixed. However, it looks like there may be an alternative…

Using Google Translate, I can see that SEM-Logistics and Christian Oihenart have released a version of OpenBoard that works on OS X Yosemite (although there is apparently a small bug in the display of the dock). I have not installed or tested OpenBoard, and have no idea how well this might work, but it is now on my radar.

The old link to OpenBoard is dead. This new one seems to work.
