Steps To Reproduce

On MacOS 13.2.1:

1. Download the pre-built binary for Mac: bws-macos-universal-0.3.1.zip
2. Unpack it
3. Run the CLI tool in the terminal $: bws

Expected Result

After unpacking the executable I expect to be able to run it. Ideally instead of downloading it, it would be available through a package manager like Homebrew.

Actual Result

The MacOS system shows an alert saying "bws cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified." and gives the option to either close the pop-up or move the executable to the Trash.

I think you need to notarize and sign the executable as part of your release pipeline. Not doing it is likely preventing a lot of your MacOS users from adopting your tools. There is a way to let the OS trust the app anyway, but it is hidden away in the settings.
