Opens like any Mac app
LidRun is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens with a normal double-click. The first time, macOS just asks you to confirm you want to open an app downloaded from the internet.
Double-click LidRun → Open
No right-click trick, no Privacy & Security detour.
After the first open, LidRun keeps itself up to date — new versions install in-app.

Signed and notarized
- Signed with an Apple Developer ID.
- Notarized and stapled by Apple — Gatekeeper opens it normally.
- Updates itself in-app once installed.
- Every build published with a SHA-256 checksum.
The one permission it asks for
LidRun asks only for the access it needs to manage sleep and read battery and temperature. No files, no ad tracking. Just an anonymous update check, plus optional diagnostics you can switch off.
Activate your license key
Your key arrives by email right after checkout. Open LidRun, paste it in, and it activates on the number of Macs your plan covers.
