Opening it the first time

If macOS says it can’t check Hem

Hem isn’t notarized by Apple yet, so the first time you open it, macOS stops it and says it can’t check Hem for malicious software. That’s expected for now. To open it anyway:

  1. Click Done in that message.
  2. Open System Settings › Privacy & Security and scroll down to Security.
  3. Next to “Hem” was blocked, click Open Anyway, and confirm with your password or Touch ID.

You do this once for each download. After that, Hem opens like any other app.

Prefer Terminal?

After dragging Hem into Applications, run this once, then open Hem:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Hem.app
