Libritus

Install Libritus on Mac

Apple Silicon only (M1 and later). One extra Terminal step because the build is unsigned.

Download .dmg

Why the extra step?

macOS Gatekeeper blocks apps that are not signed and notarized. Signing for distribution means paying Apple about $99 every year. Libritus is a personal open-source project under CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0. It is not in the App Store and will not pay that fee. The app is fine; Gatekeeper just does not trust unsigned builds.

Steps

  1. Download the .dmg below and open it.
  2. Drag Libritus into Applications.
  3. Before you open the app, run this command in Terminal:

Copy and paste into Terminal

xattr -cr /Applications/Libritus.app

Then open Libritus from Applications.

If you skip the command, macOS will say the app is damaged and offer to move it to the Trash. That is Gatekeeper, not a broken download. Run the command and open it again.
