The latest beta (v3.0b4) is unusable under Sequoia (macOS 15.0.1) on my machine. Using the typical "right-click and select open" no longer launches the app with the usual warning, but is not refused by the OS and the only option given is to move the app to the trash. I understand Apple's desire to keep adding security to the OS, and the necessity of doing so, but in doing so, much of the "fun" in using a computer is being eliminated. Sad.😪

I'm like Brian163: I've had a version of this (very nice freebie!) app since BEFORE OS X! Back in the day, Mac programs like this were the "amaze your (PC) friends" stuff that made them envious you were running a Mac (anyone remember MacPuke? LOL!). I think it's just as cool today as it was DECADES ago!
