"Application Name" is damaged and can't be opened.

This is Apple's way of telling you that the application is unsigned and missing metadata. This happens a lot with open source releases, and you can fix it by blindly trusting it:

  1. Open a Terminal window
  2. run either xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/New\ File.app or xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/New\ File\ \(Dark\ Mode\).app. Adjust the location to which you dragged the file.
  3. Proceed with the installation if you didn't add the application to the Finder toolbar yet

Note: There will be a large number of security warnings on first start because, in addition to being unsigned, the application tries to change settings for you. If you don't like this, I recommend creating your own application in Automator and refactoring the above source to your liking.
