macOS 15 or later. If macOS asks on first open, click Open — the app is notarized.
Both steps matter: the Mac app runs your device and syncs your iPhone — but the free browser helper is what blocks distracting websites on your Mac. Add it for the full focus experience. No sign-in needed; it's driven by the Mac app.
