Frequently Asked Questions
Why does macOS show a security warning?
Apple requires developers to pay for a developer account and go through a notarization process. As an independent developer, I've chosen to distribute this app without these steps, which is why you'll see the security warning.
Is it safe to bypass the security warning?
Yes, the app is safe to use. The security warning is simply because the app isn't signed or notarized by Apple, not because it contains malware. However, you should only download software from trusted sources.
Why is it only for Mac Silicon?
The app uses specific optimizations and features only available on Apple Silicon chips, allowing for better performance and battery life.
Will it work on my Intel Mac?
No, this application is specifically built for Apple Silicon chips (M1, M2, M3, etc.) and will not work on Intel-based Macs.
