Using 0.14.1 on macOS 14.6.1 (Sonoma)..same for v0.14.0

Hi! You can get around it by adding an exception to macOS quarantine:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Musicat.app

then launch the app again and it should work.

The OS can decide to show this because the app isn't signed (yet!). I will make it signed soon, since I finally got a developer certificate for another app I'm working on. I'll also add a note to the README explaining this.

As of 0.15.0, the app is now notarized and signed! Closing this issue.
