🚀 Activate MacOS App


Version: 1.2.0


Table of Contents

🎉 About

Welcome to the Activate MacOS app! 🎉 This fun little app is designed to mimic the activation message you might see on Windows when you don't have a valid license. A playful nod to our friends using Windows!

🎯 Purpose

This app creates a window on your macOS desktop with a message that says:

  • "Activate MacOS"
  • "Go to Settings to activate MacOS."

It's a humorous way to remind you of the activation screens found in other operating systems. 😉
