Need help testing my new/old less-lossy JPEG app / editor... SquarePusher

Has been awhile since I started a new thread. I used to be @havanas on Ars.

I am looking for some adventurous souls to install an app from an untrusted source (me!)... so as to see if this works on ARM or at all outside of local.

The app is a JPEG editor, mostly SwiftUI with an embedded version of the command line JPEGTRAN. I built it like 20 years ago in Objective-C and has some Arsians do testing then (see old thread link below).

JPEGTRAN is a fat / universal binary and - I think - now is dependency less. Had one friend test Saturday and had issues with a missing library.

Just I only have 1 Mac and no ARM chips localy and my friends are spotty at testing.

If anyone wants to try it I can put a link in reply or private message (if supported on here).

Well here is a link if anyone wants to try it out.
Chrome, at least, will also yap about it being unsafe.


I will probably sell it for $1 - $2 once I submit to app store.
It's a very niche use case, but has to be some other people out there that want to losslessly crop / edit JPEGs.

The literal package contents (I get that the executable itself is the iffy part).
So if anyone has a nuke-able laptop or something please test.

I promise, this won't happen (unless you try to open a corrupt or weird JPEG)... my '404' screen:
