 ### Installation
 
 **macOS:**
 
-⚠️ **Note**: The app is unsigned, so you'll need to bypass Gatekeeper security.
+1. Download the DMG file for your Mac:
+   - Intel Mac: `macos-dmg-x64`
+   - Apple Silicon: `macos-dmg-arm64`
+2. Open the DMG file
+3. Drag Cmux to Applications folder
+4. Open the app normally
 
-1. Download and open the DMG file
-2. Drag Cmux to Applications folder
-3. **First time opening**:
-   - Don't double-click the app (macOS will block it)
-   - Right-click (or Control+click) on Cmux.app
-   - Select "Open" from the menu
-   - Click "Open" in the security dialog
-   - The app will now be allowed to run
-
-**Alternative method if the above doesn't work:**
-
-1. After step 2, open Terminal
-2. Run: `xattr -cr /Applications/Cmux.app`
-3. Run: `codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Cmux.app`
-4. Now you can open the app normally
-
-These steps are only needed once. After that, you can open the app normally.
+The app is code-signed and notarized by Apple, so it will open without security warnings.
 
 **Linux:**
 
 1. Download the AppImage file
 2. Make it executable: `chmod +x Cmux-*.AppImage`
 3. Run it: `./Cmux-*.AppImage`
+
+### Testing Pre-Release Builds
+
+⚠️ **Note**: Only builds from the `main` branch are signed and notarized. If you're testing a build from a pull request or other branch, you'll need to bypass macOS Gatekeeper:
+
+1. After installing, open Terminal
+2. Run: `xattr -cr /Applications/Cmux.app`
+3. Run: `codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Cmux.app`
+4. Now you can open the app normally
