Installing Prole

Prole isn’t notarized by Apple yet, so macOS needs a quick one-time OK the first time you open it. Here’s how.

  1. Open the download. Double-click Prole.dmg, then drag Prole into your Applications folder.
  2. Open it the first time. In Applications, right-click (or Control-click) Prole and choose Open, then confirm. You only do this once.
    Prefer the terminal? Run:
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Prole.app
    then open it normally.
  3. Turn on Screen Recording. The first time you capture, macOS asks for permission. Enable Prole under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen Recording, then reopen Prole if it asks.
