About Code Signing & Notarization
AudioKeeper is not notarized by Apple. Notarization requires sending binaries to Apple for approval, which involves:
- Annual Apple Developer Program fees ($99/year)
- Compliance with Apple's specific build requirements
- Ongoing maintenance overhead for a free, open-source project
By using AudioKeeper, you acknowledge that it's not notarized. The app is completely open-source, and you can review the code yourself. The Homebrew installation script automatically removes the com.apple.quarantine attribute, so the app works out of the box without security warnings.
For transparency: this approach is used by other open-source macOS apps like AeroSpace.
- Download from GitHub Releases
- If DMG won't open: Right-click DMG → "Open" → "Open" (bypasses security warning)
- Open DMG and drag AudioKeeper.app to Applications
- First launch: Right-click AudioKeeper.app → "Open" → "Open" (required for unsigned apps)
- Optional - Remove quarantine attribute to avoid future warnings:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/AudioKeeper.app
Security Note: macOS shows warnings for unsigned apps. This is normal and safe. AudioKeeper is open-source - you can review the code yourself.
