+## About App Signing
+
+⚠️ **Note**: The app is currently not signed by Apple, which is why you need to right-click > Open.
+
+### Why Is It Not Signed?
+
+Full code signing requires an **Apple Developer Program membership** ($99/year). We're working on securing proper signing.
+
+### Workaround: How to Open the Unsigned App
+
+1. **Right-click** on "SensibleDB Explorer" in Applications
+2. Select **"Open"**
+3. Click **"Open"** again in the dialog box
+4. The app will now launch!
+
+This is a one-time step. After first opening, the app will work normally.
+
+### Alternatives We're Exploring
+
+We researched alternatives to paid Apple Developer account:
+
+| Option | Status |
+|--------|--------|
+| Ad-hoc signing | ❌ Doesn't pass Gatekeeper on modern Macs |
+| Free Apple Developer | ❌ No signing certificates |
+| Third-party services | Requires trust + still costs |
+| Homebrew | ❌ Requires signed apps |
+
+The only reliable solution is **Apple Developer Program** ($99/year) for Developer ID + notarization. This is an industry requirement for all macOS apps distributed outside the App Store.
+
+For now, the **right-click > Open** workaround works perfectly!
