    Hi @rbonestell, thanks for raising this! 🙏

    The app appears corrupted because we haven't yet paid Apple's $99/year developer fee required to notarize the application. This is a known limitation we're actively working to resolve.

    In the meantime, you can fix it by running this command in your Terminal:

    xattr -cr /Applications/veloxdb.app
    

    This removes the quarantine attribute macOS applies to unsigned apps, allowing it to run normally.

    We're currently fundraising on Github Sponser to cover the Apple Developer Program cost once that's sorted, notarized builds will be available and this won't be an issue for future users. We appreciate your patience and support! 🎉
