# Notarized by Apple: check it yourself

Whizra is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple. One Terminal line shows Apple’s verdict on your copy.

Whizra is signed with an Apple **Developer ID** and **notarized by Apple**. Before an app can be notarized, Apple scans it for malware and checks how it is signed. That's why macOS opens Whizra with no "unidentified developer" warning.

Notarizing is a security check by Apple, not an Apple review or endorsement of the app.

You don't have to take our word for it. Check the copy you downloaded:
1. Download Whizra and drag it into Applications.
2. Open Terminal (Applications → Utilities → Terminal).
3. Paste this line and press Return: `spctl -a -vv /Applications/Whizra.app`
4. macOS answers with Apple's verdict. Look for **accepted** and **source=Notarized Developer ID**, and the team ID **Q32764ZPJY** at the end of the `origin=` line.

If the answer says **rejected**, or the team ID is different, the copy didn't come from us: delete it and download it again from whizra.com.
- To see the signature itself: `codesign -dv --verbose=2 /Applications/Whizra.app` shows the same team ID next to `TeamIdentifier=`.
