It's that time again, Monterey has dropped and this no longer works. Would you be able to recompile it so OSX is happy to run it on the new version?

Thanks!

Hi Tom,

This is free software and so it’s not signed at all as that would require a yearly fee to keep up with on my end. Apple has been blocking applications by default that are unsigned so that users don’t accidentally run malicious software. If that’s a concern for you, you may inspect the source code and build locally on your Mac, otherwise please see the instructions below to bypass this restriction on your machine.

Please note these are not my steps, but the general steps required to run any programs that is distributed outside of the Mac App Store and/or is also unsigned. It’s intentionally not simple to again limit occurrence of malicious software from being executed.

  1. Open System Preferences
  2. Click ‘Desktop & Screen Saver’
  3. Click ‘Flying Toasters’
  4. Move mouse cursor to the black preview box and click ‘preview’
  5. When macOS Monterey alerts you that the software can’t be opened, click ok
  6. Go to ‘Security and Privacy’ in System Preferences.
  7. Under the ‘General’ tab, below ‘Allow apps downloaded from’, click the ‘open anyway’ button next to the message indicating the screensaver was blocked.
  8. Now Repeat steps 2 through 4 again. The alert that appears this time has an option to ‘Open’. Click ‘Open’.
  9. The screen saver will now function as it did before.
