Yes, you will need to right click Loop.app in Finder and click open. This is because the app hasn't been notarized by Apple. I plan to do it in the future, but that requires an Apple Developer Program account which I do not yet have.

This didn't work for me. I needed to run xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Loop.app.
