### Important notes

Because the application is not signed, macOS Gatekeeper may prevent it from opening. You can bypass this using one of the following methods. (*Caveat: run only trusted builds.*)

**Method 1: Context Menu**
1. **Right-click on the app icon**,
2. select "Open" from the context menu, and
3. select "OK" in the dialog below.\

**Method 2: Terminal (If you only see "Move to Bin")**
If macOS shows an error that it *"could not verify 'Tiny Wi-Fi Analyzer.app' is free of malware"* with no option to open it, you must manually remove the quarantine attribute.

1. Open **Terminal**.
2. Run the following command (assuming you placed the app in your Applications folder):
```sh
   xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Tiny\ Wi-Fi\ Analyzer.app
```
3. Launch the application normally.

On macOS 14 Sonoma and later, Location Services permission is required to get Wi-Fi SSIDs.
Please enable Location Services by following the instructions.
