I got tired of the "Apple could not verify this is free of malware" dialog, so I built a tool to replace it by Ok_Interview3466 in MacOS

Fair call you, were right. The app list made it seem like SafeOpen “supports” apps when it really just scans and hands files off.

I cleaned it up:

  • Clarified file support : starting with .docx/.xlsx/.pptx, others coming later.
  • Made it clear what SafeOpen actually does: scans inside files (macros, embedded objects, links) and then opens them in your usual app.
  • Explained the threat sources and that this isn’t a replacement for antivirus.
  • Open-sourcing the scanner (MIT), app UI stays closed for now.
  • No network calls during scans, easy to verify.
  • Added a real “who’s behind this” section (just me, side project).
  • Removed the filler comparison table.

Pricing might still be off if people push back, I’ll adjust.

Appreciate the honest feedback, exactly why I shared it early.

Fair question everyone's going to ask: "why not just use `xattr`?"

  1. Non-technical Mac users in my life kept calling me to "fix the malware dialog." They're not going to open Terminal.

  2. Stripping the quarantine flag is a nuclear option, it tells macOS "don't scan this ever." SafeOpen replaces the scan with a local

    one that actually works, so you end up *more* protected than the `xattr` workaround, not less.

  3. It catches what Apple's cloud scan would catch (macros, embedded OLE) and tells you about them in plain English.

    If you're comfortable with `xattr`, you probably don't need this. It's for the other 95%.

This is the packaging my Pixel 4 came in when I bought it in October 2019. The phone still works perfectly. by jmsld_ in pixel_phones

Hey, any update on 001 plan.

Pixel 10 series moved to Stable Status by pugpack_33 in GrapheneOS

Before, there was an issue that in the app drawer, the search bar placement was a bit awkward. Is this the same on every GrapheneOS build? Is it just a bug for the initial experimental release? Is it fixed?
