How to open ToolKITZ

ToolKITZ isn't notarized by Apple, so the first time you open it, your Mac stops it and asks you to approve it. It's a one-time, one-minute fix. After this, it opens normally.

Download ToolKITZ

  1. Open the download and double-click ToolKITZ

    Open ToolKITZ.dmg?v=1.0.0 from your Downloads, drag ToolKITZ into Applications, then double-click it there.

    Applications

  2. If a message pops up, click Done

    macOS says “ToolKITZ.app” Not Opened and that Apple could not verify it. That's expected for an app that isn't notarized. Click Done. If your Mac also shows Move to Trash, don't click it.

    “ToolKITZ.app” Not Opened

    Apple could not verify “ToolKITZ.app” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.

    From now on ToolKITZ opens like any other app. Push your cursor to the top of the screen and scroll down to open it.

Prefer Terminal? One command instead

Drag ToolKITZ into Applications first, then paste this into Terminal and press Return:
