Everything you need to know about Snapzy.
Step 1: Open the downloaded .dmg file and drag Snapzy into your Applications folder.
macOS Gatekeeper blocks apps downloaded outside the App Store from unidentified developers to protect your Mac. Since Snapzy is distributed independently (not through the Mac App Store), you need to manually allow it via Privacy & Security settings. This is a one-time step — Snapzy will open normally afterward.
