If macOS says it can’t check the installer
WinPlug is brand new, and Apple’s notarization is on its way. Until then, macOS asks you to confirm, once, that you want to open the installer:
- In the message, click Done.
- Open System Settings › Privacy & Security and scroll down to Security.
- Next to the line about the WinPlug installer, click Open Anyway, then confirm with Open Anyway and your Mac’s password or Touch ID.
The installer then opens normally, and WinPlug itself starts without asking again.
What WinPlug asks for, and why
- Accessibility (required): Move, snap and minimize windows, and turn your Windows shortcuts into Mac ones. Never: reads your documents or what is inside your windows.
- Input Monitoring (required): Notice Ctrl+C, Alt+Tab and the scroll wheel as you press them. Never: stores or sends what you type. Keys are handled on the fly.
- Screen Recording (optional): Live window thumbnails, captures and screen recordings. Never: records anything you did not ask for. Off? You get icons and titles instead.
