Open an app from an unidentified developer

Allow a trusted application that macOS refuses to open.

  1. First try right-click on the application → Open, then confirm.
  2. Otherwise: System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the message about the blocked application and click "Open Anyway".
  3. As a last resort, remove the quarantine attribute from an application you have verified:
    xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/MonApp.app
  4. Always download software from the publisher's official website.
⚠️ Only bypass Gatekeeper for software whose origin you have verified.
