- The 1.5 MB app supports macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon and Intel, but requires Gatekeeper’s manual “Open Anyway” approval.
Field notes
The page spells out the Finder sequence, including a small usability warning: pick up the file before pressing Shift, or Finder may select extra files. It says conversions save beside the original, which remains untouched, and that several files can be handled at once. The 1.5 MB download supports macOS 14 or later on both Apple Silicon and Intel; first launch requires the user to approve it in macOS Privacy & Security.
