CheckPrintPro for Mac Is Now Code-Signed and Notarized by Apple

What's New

Starting with version 1.0.18, the Mac edition of CheckPrintPro is code-signed with our Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple. The notarization ticket is stapled to the app itself, so macOS can verify it even when your Mac is offline.

If you installed an earlier version, you may remember the extra steps: a warning that the app "can't be opened because the developer cannot be verified", a trip to System Settings, or even a Terminal command. None of that is needed anymore.

What Notarization Means for You

Check printing software handles your bank's routing number and your account number, so it matters that the app you install is the one we built. Two Apple checks now stand behind every Mac download:

• Code signing proves who made the app. The signature belongs to our Apple Developer ID, and macOS refuses to run the app if even one file inside it has been changed after signing.
• Notarization means Apple scanned that exact build for known malware before it was published, and issued a ticket for it. Gatekeeper checks the ticket when you open the app.

Installing CheckPrintPro on a Mac

1. Download the .dmg from the download page.
2. Open it and drag CheckPrintPro to your Applications folder.
3. Open the app. macOS asks once whether you want to open an app downloaded from the internet: click Open. That's it.

Sign in with your CheckPrintPro account, or start the free trial, and your bank profiles and check history are there, the same as in the web app.

One Download for Every Mac

The Mac download is a Universal build: the same app runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1 and newer) and on Intel Macs. There is no "which version do I need?" question. It needs macOS 10.14 or later.

And on Windows?

The Windows installer works on Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit). Because it is a new publisher to Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Windows may show "Windows protected your PC" the first time: click More info, then Run anyway. A signed Windows build is in the works, and we'll post here when it ships.
