About:
Alienator88 Sentinel is a powerful utility designed to manage macOS security policies, specifically Gatekeeper. It allows users to bypass quarantine flags on downloaded applications and self-sign apps that lack official developer signatures. This tool is essential for users who frequently work with software from unverified sources or need to modify existing app signatures.
Key Features:
  • One-click unquarantine of apps
  • Self-signing capabilities for custom apps
  • Gatekeeper configuration management
  • Drag-and-drop interface
Use Cases:
  • Running apps downloaded from outside the App Store
  • Developers testing unsigned or locally built applications
  • Fixing 'damaged' app errors on legitimate software
Alternatives:
  • xattr command line tool – Native macOS utility requiring terminal usage vs Sentinel's GUI
  • Gatekeeper Control Panel – System settings vs granular per-app control
