macOS — Gatekeeper Warning

macOS blocks apps that aren't notarized. reqit is safe — this warning appears because the app isn't signed with an Apple Developer certificate yet.

To open it anyway:

1. Right-click reqit.app → Open → Open in the dialog
2. Or: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway

Or via Terminal:

xattr -cr /path/to/reqit.app
