Unsigned beta — one-time install step
Focrel isn't yet signed with an Apple Developer ID. On macOS 15 and later, Gatekeeper blocks unsigned apps outright — even the classic right-click → Open path no longer works. Code-signing lands in v1.0 and this step goes away; until then, you need one of the two workarounds below. Only needed once.
- Download the
.dmgabove and drag Focrel into your Applications folder. - Recommended — Terminal.app, one command:Paste and press return
xattr -cr /Applications/Focrel.appStrips the quarantine flag macOS set when you downloaded the DMG. Double-click Focrel after running it and it opens normally.
- Or — System Settings: try opening Focrelonce (it'll be blocked), then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the “Focrelwas blocked…” message, and click Open Anyway. Confirm in the prompt that follows.
