Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Angry IP Scanner is available as a cask on the Homebrew package manager, however it was set to be disabled on 2026-09-01 because the cask fails macOS Gatekeeper checks. [1]

disable! date: "2026-09-01", because: :fails_gatekeeper_check

Describe the solution you'd like
There could be a custom tap that disables gatekeeper kind of like this one for Freetube [2], while adding a disclaimer on install [3] :

caveats <<~EOS
    Warning: macOS's Gatekeeper has been disabled for this Cask

    According to the vendor, the Gatekeeper quarantine attribute breaks the app and needs to be removed. This Cask, `#{token}`, automatically removes the quarantine attribute. No further action is required.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Maintaining my own custom homebrew tap
  • Installing angry-ip-scanner manually
