Thanks for creating this port. On my Silicon machine, the ARM version complains about the  "Damaged" message in the first place, w/o option to "run anyway" seen in Security settings, but the x64 macOS version offers the "run anyway" option in the Security settings.

Later, I executed the xattr Terminal command on the ARM version, and now, it runs w/o issues.

Developer

Yeah, Apple is trying very hard to force everyone to publish software on their app store so they introduce all these hurdles to make running software from other sources as hard and as scary as possible which is real unfortunate. Maybe some day I’ll figure out how I can sign this program properly without needing an Apple developer account or whatever but until then running xattr seems to be the only way. A while ago I added the information about xattr at the very top of the documentation in the Download section so hopefully more people find that.
