Still can’t open CmdPalm?
If Open Anyway is unavailable, the command below removes the download quarantine attribute from only the CmdPalm app in Applications. Use it only for a copy you downloaded from our official GitHub releases and trust.
Open Terminal, paste this command, press Return, then open CmdPalm again:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/CmdPalm.appIf macOS reports the app is damaged, download a fresh copy from our releases first. For an alert that says the app will damage your computer, stop and report it.
