Getting this message, executable was downloaded from here.

“CapsLockNoDelay” will damage your computer. You should move it to the Bin.

You probably see this message since apple doesn't know this binary, nor is it signed using official apple developer certificate.
You can bypass this message by selecting "allow software from unidentified developers" in the security and privacy section in system preferences.

If you do not trust this binary to be free of malware, you can download the source code, check that it does only what it claims and build it yourself.

Hi @gkpln3, thanks for creating this great tool! It has been very helpful.

I am experiencing the same issue, and selecting "Allow applications downloaded from App Store and identified developers" no longer works for me. Are there any workarounds for this?

Update: Selecting "override malware protection" in the app info won't work.

Well this suddenly happens on my machine too, seems like Ventura is doing something special here.
I'm looking into it.

I just verified the following works on my machine:

There's a bit of overhead, but IMO this great app is worth it.

EDIT: But there was a new "Open Anyway" option at the bottom, so I selected it and now it works!:

Good, I'm posting this as a new version, hoping it won't be flagged again.
