PathKit is an open source student project. As such we do not have the funding to have the software signed by major OS companies like Windows and Apple. Apple alone costs $99-350 per year to sign software with their company for safe downloads. While we understand this presents a security risk to your computer, we follow strict coding practices to prevent malicious code, and the repository is available for complete review.

You can bypass the security issues on mac to download PathKit by following the instructions here: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer-mh40616/mac

I will be closing this issue as we cannot resolve it at this time.
