xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Catalyst.app"
Since Catalyst isn't verified by Apple yet, macOS adds a “quarantine” flag to anything downloaded from the web and falsely reports the app as “damaged.” This command removes that flag so the app opens normally — it's completely safe, and you only need to run it once.
Shipped, in flight, and up next — updated with every release.
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Catalyst.app", then launch it normally. You only do this once. (Right-clicking and choosing Open does not work for the "damaged" variant — the Terminal command is the reliable fix.)Download Catalyst, grab a key, and make the editor the fun part again.
