Getting WISPER running on your Mac.
WISPER isn't on the App Store, so macOS shows one extra confirmation step the first time you open it. It only happens once — here's exactly what to expect.
01
Download the DMG
Click "Get WISPER for macOS" on the homepage. The file downloads to your Downloads folder as WISPER.dmg.
WISPER.dmg
Downloads — 42 MB
02
Drag WISPER into Applications
Open the downloaded file. A window appears with the WISPER icon and a shortcut to your Applications folder — drag one onto the other.

03
macOS blocks the first launch
Double-click WISPER in Applications. macOS shows "Apple could not verify WISPER is free of malware" because it isn't notarized through the App Store — click "Done" to dismiss it. This is expected.
"WISPER" can't be opened
Apple could not verify "WISPER" is free of malware.
04
Open System Settings → Privacy & Security
Scroll down to the Security section — you'll see "WISPER was blocked to protect your Mac." Click "Open Anyway", then confirm once more with your Mac password. WISPER opens normally from then on.
