macOS will warn that StaffVertex “cannot be opened” or is “damaged”, because this build is not yet signed by Apple. To open it: drag StaffVertex to your Applications folder, then right-click the app → Open → Open. You only need to do this once.
If the warning persists, run this in Terminal, then open the app again:
xattr -cr /Applications/StaffVertex.appOn first run StaffVertex asks for Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Both are required for activity tracking and screenshots.
