A GUI for controlling Gatekeeper and more, written in SwiftUI. Using this as a learning opportunity for Swift as I'm new to it.

Features

100% Swift
Can drop an app in the drop target to unquarantine
Can drop an app in the drop target to ad-hoc self sign and replace the certificate
Custom auto-updater that pulls latest release notes and binaries from GitHub Releases (Sentinel should be ran from /Applications folder to avoid permission issues)
Supports macOS Sequoia and up gatekeeper modification using profiles since Apple disabled spctl command

Screenshots

Requirements

MacOS 12.0+ (App uses a lot of newer SwiftUI functions/modifiers which don't work on any OS lower than 12.0)
