Reclaim! is not malicious: How to play Reclaim! on Mac

Hello everyone! We’re very excited that you’re interested in Reclaim! This is a demo of alpha version software, meaning that everything is a work in progress. Please pardon our mess! Recently we’ve heard some users on Mac have been having trouble accessing this demo of Reclaim!, so this guide is intended to help you through that process.

We’re not identified by Apple yet, so your computer might try to protect you from opening the demo. As long as you download the demo directly from this website, there is no risk of infection. You can read more about it here, on Apple’s support website:

To open Reclaim! on Mac

First, attempt to open the app normally. You will get a message that looks like this. Go ahead and click OK.

Then open your System Settings, which can be found in your dock or by clicking the Apple symbol in the upper left hand corner of your screen.

In System Settings, select “Privacy & Security.”

Then scroll down to the “Security” section and click “Open Anyway.” You’ll need to enter your system password, and then you’ll get a pop-up letting you know again that we’re unidentified by Apple. If you click “Open” on that pop-up, you should then be able to access the demo.

And that’s all you need to be able to access Reclaim! on Mac!
