mess — install notes
====================

1. Unzip mess.zip and drag mess.app into your Applications folder.

2. First launch on your Mac:
   macOS will likely block it, because the app is not notarized by Apple
   (it is a personal tool, not a store app). This is normal. Do this once:

   a. Double-click mess.app. macOS shows a warning. Close it.
   b. Open  System Settings > Privacy & Security.
   c. Scroll down: you will see  "mess.app was blocked...".
      Click  "Open Anyway"  and confirm.

   From then on it opens like any other app.

   Alternative for terminal people, instead of the steps above:
       xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/mess.app

3. Needs a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer), macOS 13+.

4. Your photos never leave your machine. Boards are stored as plain files
   in ~/Documents/Mess. No account, no network, no telemetry.
