macOS Users: App Not Signed

LynxHub is not code-signed with an Apple Developer certificate. macOS will show a security warning when you first try
to open it. To bypass this:

  1. Right-click (or Control-click) on the app and select Open
  2. Click Open in the dialog that appears
  3. Alternatively, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway

You only need to do this once. The app is safe to use, it's just not signed.
