Why does this happen? macOS Gatekeeper flags apps not distributed through the App Store or notarized by Apple. OptionV is safe — this is a one-time step.
Already downloaded? Follow these steps to open it.
Open System Settings from the Apple menu at the top-left of your screen.
Select Privacy & Security in the sidebar.
Scroll to the Security section — you'll see a message that OptionV was blocked.
Click "Open Anyway." macOS may ask for your password or Touch ID.
After clicking "Open Anyway," OptionV opens normally from that point — you won't see this prompt again.
