Resolving macOS Security Warnings

When first launching JoltNotes, you may encounter a security warning stating "JoltNotes is damaged and can't be opened." This is due to macOS Gatekeeper security features.

Option 1: Using System Settings

Try to open the app
Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security
Look for a message about JoltNotes and click "Open Anyway"

Option 2: Using Terminal

If the "Open Anyway" button doesn't appear, you can use Terminal:
Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)

Navigate to where you installed the app:

cd /Applications (If you installed elsewhere, adjust the path accordingly)

Run this command (you'll need to enter your password):

sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine JoltNotes.app

Try opening JoltNotes again

Note: Commands using sudo require administrator privileges. Only use Terminal commands if you understand their function. The developer will explore Apple's code signing and notarization process in future releases for a smoother experience.
