Why this App can be useful to you ?

Why it is not on the App Store ?

This is a MacOSX App build with xCode using Swift 5.0 and Sandbox Not activated in order to beneficiate from the bash permission.

This App cannot be allowed right now on the Mac App Store due to the necessary temporary exceptions required. (Except if you manage to bribe some Apple Reviewers which I did not succeeded yet :))
