Install
Download the .dmg below (universal — Apple Silicon and Intel), open it, and drag FocalPlanner into Applications.
First launch (one-time Gatekeeper step)
This build is ad-hoc signed but not notarized by Apple, so macOS blocks it the first time. Do one of:
- macOS 14 (Sonoma) and earlier — right-click the app in Applications → Open → Open.
- macOS 15 (Sequoia) — double-click once (it gets blocked), then open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
- Terminal (any version) —
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/FocalPlanner.app
After this one-time step the app opens normally. On first run, grant Calendar and Reminders access when prompted.
Requirements
macOS 11 or later · Apple Silicon or Intel.
