Tech ⌨

This app is created using Tauri, a Rust🦀 framework for building a cross-platform desktop app. It uses Next.js as a frontend layer. The compression is done entirely by FFmpeg using platform specific standalone binaries. The app works completely offline and no any network requests is made to/from the app.

FAQs

  1. MacOS: "CompressO" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to trash. "CompressO" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to trash.

    This error is shown by Apple to gatekeep app developers from using their apps unless it's signed by Apple after paying $100/year fee. The message is completely misleading since the app is not damaged at all. Since this is a free app, I'm not going to go Apple's route just to appease them to make people trust my app. Here's a simple solution for this issue. Open your terminal and run the command:

    xattr -cr /Applications/CompressO.app
    

    If you don't feel comfortable applying the above solution, you can simply move the app to trash (which also means you cannot use CompressO on your Mac).

  2. MacOS: "CompressO" cannot be opened because developer cannot be verified.

    "CompressO" cannot be opened because developer cannot be verified.

    This error is same as the one above on FAQ 1. It's just, Apple made the message different to scare the end user. Please have a look at the solution above.
