Download GradeUP PRO for macOS
Follow these guided steps to download and run the macOS desktop client safely on your Macbook.
Download macOS Client (.dmg)Problem Statement: macOS Gatekeeper Alerts
When opening the downloaded application on macOS, the system may show a prompt indicating: "GradeUP_PRO_Desktop is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Bin" or "App is from an unidentified developer."
Why this occurs: This is a standard gatekeeper quarantine measure. To deliver in-house diagnostic test packages locally, this app is compiled as a custom package. Since it is not distributed directly through the official Apple App Store and does not contain a signature linked to a paid Apple Developer profile, macOS flags it as unrecognized.
Verified Solutions

- Copy the command block below, paste it into your Terminal window, and press Enter:
Result: Once run, double-click GradeUP PRO in your Applications folder and it will launch instantly without any security errors.
B Open Anyway Bypass (Alternate Option)
You can also bypass Gatekeeper alerts directly through your macOS security preferences pane:
- Attempt to double-click the app. If the warning dialog pops up, click Cancel.
- Open your Macbook's System Settings (or System Preferences) and navigate to the Privacy & Security menu tab.
- Scroll down to the Security sub-section.
- You will see a notification banner: "GradeUP_PRO_Desktop was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer."
- Click the "Open Anyway" button next to the notification, then verify your identity with your password/Touch ID to open the client securely.
