I don't think it's damaged, xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Psst.app/ will resolve. Did this happen to you before?

Just chiming in — I don't think stripping the quarantine flag was necessary before.

I updated to most recent build, and got the same message as @actuallyabhi --

However, I had an old DMG of a previous build, dated April 20. I tried installing the copy from that one and got the following message instead:

So perhaps there is something that changed recently with the build or packaging process.

Personally, I don't mind either way, I am comfortable with the terminal and used to this kind of thing from Apple. However, the latter (older version) is easier for non-technical users to deal with, since they just have to click things in the GUI.

(System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway)

Anyway, just wanted to add this additional information in case it helps. Thank you for your work on Psst!

I see, I think perhaps recent build changes caused this issue... I'll try to see if I can revert and figure how whats going on.
