Thanks for downloading 5fifi Flow! Since I’m not part of Apple’s paid Developer Program ($99\/year, money I’d rather put toward keeping this app free), macOS will show a warning the first time you open it. That’s normal, expected, and doesn’t mean anything is wrong. Here’s exactly how to get past it, in under a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Download and open the file<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Download 5fifiFlow.dmg<\/code>, then double-click it once it’s finished. A window will open showing the 5fifi Flow icon next to an Applications folder shortcut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Drag 5fifi Flow into Applications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Drag the 5fifi Flow icon onto the Applications shortcut. This copies the app to your Applications folder, which is where it needs to live for permissions and Launch at Login to work correctly later.<\/p>\n\n\n

3. Open it from Applications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Go to your Applications folder and double-click 5fifi Flow. You’ll likely see a message like:<\/p>\n\n\n

This is macOS being cautious about apps that aren’t notarized through Apple’s paid program, not a sign that anything is actually wrong. Click Done<\/strong> (or OK) to dismiss it, then continue to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Allow it in System Settings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
