The Gatekeeper Protocol

MacOS protects you from unverified developers. Here is how to let Bouquine in.

Right-click the app icon and select Open.

3

Click Open on the popup warning.

Beta Security Notice

Gatekeeper Protocol

As a Private Beta app, macOS may show a security warning. This is normal for un-notarized software. Follow these steps to grant access:

Download & Install

Drag Bouquine to your Applications folder.

Open System Settings

Go to Privacy & Security → Security.

Find Bouquine

Look for "Bouquine was blocked..." message.

Click "Open Anyway"

Enter password and confirm to launch.

This is standard for beta software. Apps like Discord and Spotify used this same process before Apple notarization. Once we exit beta, this step will no longer be needed.

The Architect's Missions

Mission 01: The Memory Check

Task: Create a character in the Vault with a specific secret (e.g., "Allergic to silver"). Ask The Muse to write a dining scene.

Success: The AI refuses to let them touch the silverware.

Mission 02: The Mirror Test

Task: Write 300 words of your unique prose in Chapter 1. Go to Style Guide and click "✨ Analyze My Voice". Then ask The Muse to continue the story.

Success: The AI writes the next paragraph sounding exactly like you.

Mission 03: The Story Audit

Task: Intentionally write a plot hole (e.g., a character who is dead in the Synopsis appears in Chapter 3). Click the Shield Icon 🛡️ in The Muse.

Success: The AI catches the contradiction and flags it in the report.
