Description

Hi. When launching macterm I'm greeted with the message

Apple could not verify "Macterm.app" is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.

Are there plans to to sign and notarize macterm? I know I can bypass this in the settings and still open the app, but I thought I'd ask.

Thanks!

Steps to reproduce

1. Download macterm
2. Launch macterm for the first time

Expected behavior

Macterm launchest without the popup message

Macterm version

v1.17.1

macOS version

MacOS Tahoe 26.5.1

Logs or screenshots

@leeallen337 Hi, thanks for your interest! Unfortunately, I do not have a concrete plan of when I will pay for the Apple Developer program. It is $99 per year, which is not something I can afford currently as a student.
If Macterm gets more popularity, hopefully it can be supported via GitHub Sponsor enough to pay for the program 😅.
