(screenshots from the Dutch localization of MacOS, but I'm sure you recognize the screens)

When I installed the app via home-brew, I couldn't start it (popup: no-open-1.png).

Via "System Settings > Privacy and security > Open Anyways" (screenshot: open-anyways.png)...

...I was able to start the app (getting another popup: confirm-open-1.png) by pressing "Open" on the popup.

According to Apparency.app your app is signed, but not notarized (apparancy-sloth.png).

My guess (I'm not sure, not an expert) is notarizing solves the problem.

Pretty late but if you right click the app and click open it'll offer the option to open up anyway. They probably don't want to notarize the app since it'll cost yearly and don't want to spend on something like that. A lot of app developers do that

No worries. As long as you are aware of it.
