Description
The Cinny client marked as "stable" at the [Clients page](https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/cinny/). There is also a button to download its masOS version.
However, macOS package is not signed, so macOS prevents users to run it.
User has now two options: to not use the client, or to bypass macOS security system, which can be harmful and can lead to security issues in his system and can not be recommended.
I don't think it's ok to encourage users to bypass OS security systems to use "secure" messaging apps. So it feels like matrix.org should not promote macOS build of the app.
