A GUI for controlling Gatekeeper, unquarantining apps and signing apps.

Features

• 100% Swift
• Can drop an app in the drop target to unquarantine and optionally auto-open the app after it is unquarantined
• Can drop an app in the drop target to ad-hoc self sign and replace the certificate
• Finder extension to easily right click apps and unquarantine
• Custom auto-updater that pulls latest release notes and binaries from GitHub Releases (Sentinel should be ran from /Applications folder to avoid permission issues)
