[!NOTE] By using CompressO, you acknowledge that it's not notarized.

Notarization is a "security" feature by Apple. You send binaries to Apple, and they either approve them or not. In reality, notarization is about paying $100 annual fee to Apple and building the app/binaries the way they want it.

This is a free & open-source app. Paying the annual fee and notarizing the app to appease Apple is not feasible.

The Homebrew installation script is configured to automatically delete com.apple.quarantine attribute, that's why the app should work out of the box, without any warnings like "CompressO is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to trash." that Apple show as a gatekeeper.

Tech

This app is created using Tauri, a Rust🦀 framework for building a cross-platform desktop app. It uses React powered by Vite as a frontend layer. The compression is done entirely by 3rd part tools like FFmpeg, pngquant, jpegoptim, gifski, etc. using platform specific standalone binaries. The app works completely offline and no any network requests is made to/from the app(except for built-in app updates).

Building

Make sure Rust & Node.js toolchains are installed.

Local Development:

• Start Tauri server

pnpm tauri:dev 

• Start Vite server:

pnpm vite:dev

Production Build:

pnpm tauri:build
