Mac says the app is damaged?

xattr -cr "/Applications/RustCam Desktop.app"FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I need a powerful computer?
No. The AI runs in the cloud and streams the result back, so a normal laptop with a webcam and a stable connection is enough. On a weak network, switch to Low latency mode.
Do I need internet?
Yes. The transformation runs in the cloud, so you need a stable connection while live. The desktop app's license keeps working if your connection drops.
Is my video recorded or stored?
RustCam doesn't record your camera feed — it's streamed to our AI provider for processing only while your session is live. Clips are saved only if you press Record, and they stay in your browser until you download or share them.
How does wallet billing work?
You add funds to your wallet, and while a live session runs you're charged per second at the rate shown in the studio. Stop the session and charging stops. Your balance and history are always visible.
Can I pay with crypto?
Yes. You can fund your wallet or buy a desktop activation key with crypto. Once the payment confirms on-chain, it's credited automatically.
What's in the free demo?
A 25-second live session with no account or card needed, so you can see the transformation on your own camera before signing up.
macOS says the app is damaged — what do I do?
The Mac app isn't signed by Apple yet. Move RustCam Desktop to Applications, then run this in Terminal: xattr -cr "/Applications/RustCam Desktop.app" — after that it opens normally.
