Looks like this update (3.0.5 Beta) is not just for Mac but also Windows and Linux.

On macOS High Sierra you need to take steps to bypass Gatekeeper. In Safari, turn off Preferences > General > Open “safe” files after download. This prevents macOS from unzipping the file. Download to Applications (not to Downloads) by right clicking the download link and using Save As… Do not use Archive to unzip the file—use ForkLift or some other 3rd party archive utility. You might not need all of these steps, but over here I’ve found that this recipe guarantees that this and previous WriteMonkey betas operate correctly on macOS.

I thought that a Mac version was something new (I could be wrong), which is why I posted this. The dev said a year ago he’d hoped to come out with a Mac beta by the end of the year but I didn’t notice it actually appearing until just now.

This is nothing new. Gatekeeper has been around since 10.7, and the solution isn’t complicated. If the app isn’t from the MAS or an ‘identified developer’ select the app in the Finder and [O]pen it. macOS asks if you’re sure you want to open it - just click yes. If you’re still having an issue just to into Privacy and click to make an exception for a given app.
