Unsigned Application Notice
As an independent project, Queriez is currently distributed as an unsigned application. This means that macOS and Windows security systems (Gatekeeper and SmartScreen) will display a warning during your first launch. This is completely normal. Please follow the instructions below to safely bypass these warnings.
macOS Installation
- Download & Extract Download the macOS `.zip` file from the landing page and extract it to reveal the `Queriez.app` file.
- Move to Applications Drag and drop the `Queriez.app` file into your system's Applications folder.
- Bypass Gatekeeper Warning
Because the app is unsigned, macOS will likely show an error stating: "Queriez is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash." or simply block it.
You can bypass this using one of two methods:Method 1: System Settings (Recommended)- 1. Open System Settings and navigate to Privacy & Security.
- 2. Scroll down to the Security section.
- 3. You will see a message saying Queriez was blocked. Click the "Open Anyway" button next to it.
Method 2: Using TerminalAlternatively, you can clear the Apple quarantine attribute. Open the Terminal app and run exactly:
xattr -cr /Applications/Queriez.app
Windows Installation
- Download & Extract Download the Windows `.zip` archive from the landing page. Right-click the file and select "Extract All..." to a folder of your choice (e.g., `C:\Program Files\Queriez` or your Desktop).
- Launch the Application Open the extracted folder and double-click on the `Queriez.exe` executable file.
- Bypass Windows SmartScreen
Upon first launch, Windows Defender SmartScreen will likely block the application, displaying a blue popup that says: "Windows protected your PC."
To bypass this:- 1. Click on the "More info" text link near the top of the popup.
- 2. A new button will appear at the bottom right. Click "Run anyway".
You will only need to do this once. Future launches will open instantly.
