v2.0.0
9723851

macOS arm64 (Apple Silicon).

Recommended — one Terminal command, zero Gatekeeper friction:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/alkait/WhatsKept/releases/latest/download/install.sh)"

curl-downloaded files don't carry the com.apple.quarantine xattr that browsers attach, so the installer can drop a quarantine-free WhatsKept.app into /Applications without ever tripping the "WhatsKept is damaged" dialog. Re-run after every update.

Other ways to get it:

  • WhatsKept-darwin-arm64-*.app.zip — browser download. Unzip, then double-click Install WhatsKept.command inside the unzipped folder. macOS will ask to confirm the .command (right-click → Open the first time) but the script itself runs the same install steps.
  • whatskept-darwin-arm64-*.zip — bare CLI for whatskept extract / scripts.

Why this dance? WhatsKept is open-source and ad-hoc signed (no Apple Developer account). On Sequoia the kernel refuses to launch ad-hoc-signed apps that carry a quarantine xattr, with no right-click bypass. The curl|bash route avoids quarantine entirely; the .command route works around it after a one-time confirmation.
