[dafi]

Hi, I'm Davide the author of VisualDiffer, a folder and file comparison tool, and I want to share with you the decision to release it as open source

The project is present at VisualDiffer GitHub Repo

Too bad it's not notarized.

You are right but at this time I can't afford Apple developer fee

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.

Great app! As its certificate will expire on 25 December 2025, it’s probably best to remove it and self-sign the app. Apple might flag the app as “malware” if the certificate is expired.

codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/VisualDiffer.app

Thanks, I hope to notarize the app very soon so the problem will be fixed totally

Today I released VisualDiffer 2.1.0 which contains the updated certificates but most importantly it is notarized 🎉
