macOS asks you to approve Card Anvil once
Card Anvil isn’t notarized by Apple yet, so the first launch is blocked until you allow it in System Settings.
Installing on macOS
- Open the downloaded .dmg and drag Card Anvil into the Applications folder.
- Open Card Anvil from Applications. macOS warns that it can’t verify the app — click Done (not Move to Trash).
- Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and scroll to the bottom. Next to “Card Anvil was blocked to protect your Mac”, click Open Anyway.
- Confirm with Open Anyway and enter your password. From then on, Card Anvil opens normally.
On macOS 12 and earlier, the setting is under System Preferences → Security & Privacy → General.
