A GUI for controlling Gatekeeper, unquarantining apps and signing apps.

Features

  • 100% Swift
  • Can drop an app in the drop target to unquarantine and optionally auto-open the app after it is unquarantined
  • Can drop an app in the drop target to ad-hoc self sign and replace the certificate
  • Finder extension to easily right click apps and unquarantine
  • Custom auto-updater that pulls latest release notes and binaries from GitHub Releases (Sentinel should be ran from /Applications folder to avoid permission issues)
