That's a security feature of macOS.
Here is a tutorial on how to allow Boost Note https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/mac-app-unidentified-developer-3669596/

I would not recommend to allow Apps from Anywhere, just the apps you want to run.

Will this be resolved any time soon? I know i can just change what macos thinks of the app, but I'd really appreciate if you guys could get apple to acknowledge this application and you as approved developers.

Just wondering...
Thanks

@MihaelBercic Can you try using the latest installer? Then this issue should not be occurring.
https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote.next/releases/latest

If you do get this error, please post a screenshot in this thread, and any other info you might have. Then we will reopen this issue.

Hello,

Also on Catalina - I tried the latest installer (0.41) and got the same message as @rohan-git .

Because this is not an "unidentified developer" I get no option to run this app in "Security & Privacy".

Any suggestions for a workaround, or if you could re-open the issue would be great, thanks!

Works fine on macOS Catalina v10.15.5 - just go to Security & Privacy and click on "Open Anyway" on the general tab.

Closed since now we're notarizing the macOS app.
