Install GEPSCOUT
The app is distributed without an Apple Developer ID or Windows code-signing certificate yet, so macOS and Windows will show a security warning on first launch. Follow the steps for your OS below.
Open the downloaded DMG
Double-click the GEPSCOUT-*.dmg file in your Downloads folder. A Finder window opens showing the GEPSCOUT app icon next to your Applications folder.
Drag GEPSCOUT into Applications
Drag the GEPSCOUT icon on the left to the Applications folder on the right. When it finishes copying, close the DMG window.
Try to open GEPSCOUT from Applications
Open your Applications folder and double-click GEPSCOUT. macOS will block it with a dialog that says “GEPSCOUT is not opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.” Click Done.
“GEPSCOUT” Not Opened
Apple could not verify “GEPSCOUT” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.
Approve it in System Settings
Open Apple menu → System Settings → Privacy & Security. Scroll to the Security section — you'll see a line about GEPSCOUT being blocked, with an Open Anyway button. Click it and enter your password to confirm.
Launch GEPSCOUT
One last confirmation dialog appears — click Open. GEPSCOUT launches normally. From now on, it opens like any other app.
Why does my computer show a warning?
macOS and Windows show security warnings for apps that aren't signed by a developer certificate issued by Apple or a recognized Windows CA. GEPSCOUT isn't signed yet because the certificates cost ~$99/year (Apple) and ~$300–500/year (Windows EV), and we haven't passed that threshold in revenue.
The warnings don't mean the app is unsafe — they mean your OS doesn't have a signed certificate to verify the identity of the publisher. The workarounds above are built into macOS and Windows for exactly this case.
Once we pay for both certificates, the warnings will disappear automatically and existing installs will receive the signed version via the built-in auto-updater.
