🔒 macOS Installation Instructions

When you first try to open the app, macOS will show this security warning:

macOS Gatekeeper Warning

What to do:

  1. DO NOT click "Move to Trash"
  2. Click "Open Anyway" (the middle button)
  3. The app will open and macOS will remember it's safe

Why does this happen? This app is not signed with an Apple Developer certificate. It's completely safe and open source - you can review the entire code on GitHub.
