This preview uses an ad-hoc signature and has not completed Developer ID
notarization. Gatekeeper rejection is expected until the user approves this
specific download. If Open Anyway remains unavailable after the checksum
passes, run:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Lerro.app
open /Applications/Lerro.app

Intelligence choices

• Raw: Apple Speech transcription works without an API key.
• API: Supply your own DeepSeek, OpenAI, Gemini, or compatible endpoint and
  key in Lerro Settings.
• Local: Download the optional Qwen model, approximately 3.03 GB, after
  explicit confirmation.
