macOS quarantines and blocks apps downloaded from the web that aren’t signed by a known developer. While this is great for security, it can be a huge pain for power users, indie devs, and anyone who wants control over their system.
MacParole helps you take back control — safely.
- Removes the
com.apple.quarantineattribute from the executable - Applies a self-signature using
codesign - App is now ready to launch without system nags
- Open MacParole
- Drag in your unsigned app
- Done! Launch freely.
This tool is meant for legitimate use cases only — like running indie software, open-source tools, or your own builds. Be smart. Don’t use it to run sketchy apps from untrusted sources.
