Try using the Terminal. sudo open -a /Applications/BoringNotch.app

Same pop-up

Same pop-up

sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/BoringNotch.app Then try opening it again.

sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/BoringNotch.app

Then try opening it again.

That's a bit too dodgy for me, tbh

I get it, here's a breakdown of the command if it makes you feel better.

sudo - run command as superuser

xattr - display and manipulate attributes

-dr - delete the chosen attribute from the targetted file and everything in said targetted file

com.apple.quarantine - the cause of the error, the app is in quarantine because the creator doesn't have a developer account with apple.

/Applications/BoringNotch.app - the target file to remove quarantine from.

Hi, We have a warning under the download button that helps with this problem.

[!warning] We don't have Apple Developer account yet. The applications will show a popup on first start. Click Okay, then go to Settings / Privacy & Security and scroll down until you see a button Open anyway. You'll have to do this once.
