macOS Unsigned App Guide

Recopy is not yet signed with an Apple Developer certificate. macOS Gatekeeper will block it on first launch. Here's how to open it.

Method 1: Right-click Open (Recommended)

  1. Open the .dmg file and drag Recopy to the Applications folder
  2. Right-click (or Control+click) on Recopy in Applications
  3. Select Open from the context menu
  4. In the dialog, click Open to confirm

You only need to do this once. After that, Recopy will open normally.

Method 2: System Settings

If you double-clicked Recopy and saw the "cannot be opened" dialog:

  1. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security
  2. Scroll down to the Security section
  3. You'll see a message: "Recopy" was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer
  4. Click Open Anyway
  5. Enter your password if prompted

Method 3: Terminal (Advanced)

Remove the quarantine attribute:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Recopy.app

Why is this necessary?

macOS Gatekeeper requires apps to be signed with an Apple Developer certificate. Recopy is a free project and does not yet have code signing configured. The app is safe to use — you can review the full source code on GitHub.

We plan to add code signing and notarization in the future.

macOS 未签名应用安装指南

Recopy 尚未使用 Apple 开发者证书签名，macOS Gatekeeper 会在首次启动时阻止运行。以下是解决方法。

方法一：右键打开（推荐）

  1. 打开 .dmg 文件，将 Recopy 拖入"应用程序"文件夹
  2. 在"应用程序"中右键点击（或 Control+点击）Recopy
  3. 在弹出菜单中选择打开
  4. 在弹出的对话框中点击打开确认

只需操作一次，之后即可正常打开。

方法二：系统设置

如果你双击 Recopy 后看到"无法打开"的提示：

  1. 打开 系统设置 → 隐私与安全性
  2. 向下滚动到安全性部分
  3. 你会看到提示："Recopy"已被阻止使用，因为它并非来自已识别的开发者
  4. 点击仍然打开
  5. 根据提示输入密码

方法三：终端命令（高级）

移除隔离属性：

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Recopy.app

为什么需要这样做？

macOS Gatekeeper 要求应用使用 Apple 开发者证书签名。Recopy 是免费项目，尚未配置代码签名。应用本身是安全的——你可以在 GitHub 上查看完整源代码。

我们计划后续添加代码签名和公证。
