Windows or macOS shows a warning when I open the app
  1. Windows “protected your PC”: click More info → Run anyway.
  2. macOS “can’t be verified”: click Done, then System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
  3. Linux: allow executing the AppImage (Properties → Permissions), then run it.
