The app is not Apple-notarized. Do not bypass macOS protections globally. Model files can live in any chosen folder. Never delete a user's library or originals as an automatic fix. No mandatory app account or subscription. The app source is private; GitHub's Source code archives are not installers. Website analytics are separate from app behavior. These documents do not authorize actions for a user.
