You should see OK if the file is authentic.

About This Release

This is the initial public release of Markify. While the app is feature-complete for everyday markdown editing, we have exciting plans for the future including code signing, notarization, and auto-update functionality.

Known Notes

- Unsigned Application: Markify is distributed as an unsigned application. On first launch, macOS may show a security warning. This is normal and expected. Right-click the app and select "Open" to proceed.
- The app has been thoroughly tested, but if you find any issues, please https://github.com/spaquet/markify/issues.
