-## 🍏 macOS Users — “App is damaged” Fix
+## 🍏 macOS Users — “App is Damaged” Fix
 
-If you see a message saying **"AutoCaption is damaged and can’t be opened"**, it's just macOS being overly strict with unsigned apps.
+If you get the error:
+**"AutoCaption is damaged and can’t be opened"** — don’t worry. This is due to macOS being strict about unsigned apps.
 
-To fix it:
+Fix it with:
 
 ```bash
 xattr -cr /Applications/AutoCaption.app
 ```
 
-That removes the quarantine flag. Then it should open just fine.
+That clears the quarantine flag. The app should open normally afterward.
