brew install cutboxWhen you first run CutBox Macos will prompt you that the developer cannot be identified.
Please read this post from Apple.
If you prefer to install open source software that isn't notarized (such as CutBox, Chromium or other large free opensource projects.) on your Mac, you can do this in the terminal.
sudo spctl --master-disableI only recommend this if you feel comfortable using free software that you can code audit.
CutBox doesn't participate in Apple notarisation. CutBox will be free and open forever, and is licensed under GNU/GPL3, so the source is always available. Donations are important to help keep it developed and improved.
CutBox is quality checked by Codacy.
CutBox.app and cutbox releases are build using Github actions, so you can also inspect the entire test/deploy/delivery chain online at cutbox/CutBox.
If you have any concerns about the integrity of your CutBox.app, make sure to build it directly from source on your local machine, this is easily achieved using Homebrew and installing XCode. See Install via Homebrew formula
After installation or upgrade, the CutBox.app requires security permission for Accessibiliy. This is so that it can paste by faking Cmd+V.
Open System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility
Unlock the panel and add CutBox to the list of apps (also switch on the check box next to its icon).
If CutBox is already in the list of apps, you have to remove and replace it with the new version installed.
CutBox.app must be restarted, for Accessibility permissions to activate. (macOS will suggest restarting CutBox anyway.)
