Important

After downloading and trying to launch the app, you will receive a text saying that it is from an unidentified developer.
This is because I do not own an Apple Developer account. To fix this:

1. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security
2. Scroll down and find the warning about the app
3. Click Open Anyway

You only need to do this once.
