Handle Security Warning

macOS will show a warning that Tacite "cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer." This is a false positive. Tacite is not notarized with Apple yet—we're a small team and the notarization process takes time.

Do this first after the DMG opens

Drag Tacite to your Applications folder, then use the steps below if macOS blocks the first launch.

To open Tacite:

  1. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security
  2. Scroll down to the security section. You should see a message about Tacite being blocked
  3. Click Open Anyway
  4. Confirm when prompted

Alternative method: Right-click (or Control-click) the Tacite app in Finder and choose Open, then confirm.
