Opening EXODE for the first time on Mac

EXODE is a secure application. Because it isn't distributed through Apple's App Store, macOS shows a warning the first time you open it — this is normal. Here's how to launch the app in under a minute. You'll only do this once: after that, EXODE opens with a simple double-click.

1. Install the application

Open the downloaded .dmg file, then drag the EXODE icon into your Applications folder.

2. First launch

Double-click EXODE in your Applications. A message saying Apple could not verify the app appears. If an « Open » button is offered, click it — you're done. If only a « Done » button is offered, follow step 3.

3. Allow the application (System Settings)

1. Click « Done » to close the message.
2. Open the Apple menu () → System Settings.
3. Go to Privacy & Security.
4. Scroll to the Security section: you'll see « EXODE was blocked… » with an « Open Anyway » button.
5. Click « Open Anyway », confirm, and enter your password if prompted.

This warning is a standard macOS measure for any app outside the App Store. EXODE is perfectly safe.
