After install

The build is unsigned, so macOS Gatekeeper will say "BoxTalk is damaged and can't be opened". It isn't damaged — that's just the message Apple Silicon shows for any app downloaded from the web without an Apple Developer signature. Drag BoxTalk to Applications first, then run this once in Terminal to clear the quarantine flag:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/BoxTalk.app

After that, BoxTalk launches normally and every future update too. The right-click → Open trick does not help with the "is damaged" variant on Apple Silicon.
