macOS FAQ
App won't open or "damaged" warning?
Gatekeeper may block the installer. Try:
- System Settings → Privacy & Security → allow the app.
- Remove quarantine (adjust the path if needed):
bash
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/VirtualBrowser.appRe-download from Official download if the binary is unknown.
Is sign-in required on macOS?
Yes. Unlike Windows (optional skip on the login screen), macOS requires an account before the main UI. Free-tier features work after sign-in—see Account & sign-in.
Is the window synchronizer on macOS?
Not in the current macOS client. The synchronizer is available on Windows Pro only. See Pricing.
Pro API and cloud sync on Mac?
Yes—REST API, MCP, CLI, and cloud sync work on macOS with Pro membership. Use the API screen for URL and api-key.
