The first time you open it

Every Mac app whose maker has not paid Apple to check it gets the same box the first time, and the box has no Open button. It does not mean anything was found in Meeting Hub. You get past it once, in System Settings.

A drawn window, the one the download opens: the Meeting Hub icon on the left, and on the right the read-me and the Licences folder
Open it where it is
  1. Open the file you downloaded.
  2. Double-click Meeting Hub, right there in its window.There is nothing to drag first.
  3. Leave it to open. Do not force quit.The first time, your Mac checks the app before anything shows. The icon can bounce in the Dock for a while with nothing on screen.
The warning box from macOS: Meeting Hub was not opened. Apple could not verify Meeting Hub is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.
Apple’s box
  1. Your Mac does not open it, and shows a box that says:“Meeting Hub was not opened. Apple could not verify Meeting Hub is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.”
  2. Close the warning. Do not move Meeting Hub to the Bin.
A drawn System Settings window, Privacy and Security chosen, the Open Anyway button ringed

  2. Go to Security, then click Open.
  3. Click Open Anyway.It is there for about an hour after step 2.

Meeting Hub’s own question: Put Meeting Hub in your Applications folder? with the buttons Move to Applications, ringed, and Not now
It moves itself
  1. Meeting Hub opens.If it does not, double-click it again in the download’s window.
  2. It asks:“Put Meeting Hub in your Applications folder?”
  3. Click Move to Applications.It moves itself there and opens again from there. Not now leaves it where it is, and it asks again next time.

From then on, open Meeting Hub from Applications, like any other app. You can move the file you downloaded to the Bin.

These are Apple’s own steps for macOS 15 and later. On macOS 13 or 14: in the download’s window, Control‑click Meeting Hub, choose Open, then click Open.

How to use it

The first time Meeting Hub opens, a short walk-through shows you each of these. Help, in the side list, plays it again.

Your hubs

Each hub holds the work for one meeting. New hub makes another.

Files dragged over the Meeting Hub window: the window blurs and says Drop to add, to Monday review

What you can drop in

PDFs, pictures, films and web pages present inside Meeting Hub.

Documents such as Keynote or Word files open in their own app; export a PDF to present one inside Meeting Hub. A link you add opens in your web browser, and only when you tap it.

What it does on your Mac

Only what Meeting Hub’s own tests showed, run on a Mac.

No internet by itself
No updates, no account, no tracking, and nothing that starts when your Mac starts. A test run watched every connection the app could make and saw none.
Only its own folder
Everything Meeting Hub saves goes into its own folder, plus the small settings file macOS keeps for every app. Nothing goes to your Downloads, Desktop or Documents. The one exception is Export PDF: it asks where to save the PDF of your notes, and writes nothing if you cancel.
It never runs a program you drop in
If you drop in a program or a script, tapping it opens the folder that holds it instead. Meeting Hub never runs it. When you click Move to Applications, and only then, it uses three of Apple’s own programs on its own copy: to take off the mark your Mac puts on downloads, to open the new copy, and to eject the download. It runs no other program itself, ever. A document or a link you tap is opened by your Mac, in its own app.
Web pages stay in their frame
A web page you drop in shows in a closed frame of its own. It cannot reach your files or the rest of the app.
Not checked by Apple
Meeting Hub is not signed with Apple, so Apple has not checked it. Apple warns that opening an unchecked app is the most common way a Mac gets malware: open Meeting Hub only if it came from someone you know.
Scanned for viruses
Checked on VirusTotal on 12 Nov 2026: 0 of 59 virus scanners flagged the download. That is not proof it is safe. It means no scanner knew of anything bad in it that day.
Two known parts inside
Electron, which draws the window, and pdf.js, which draws PDFs. Both are free and open, each at a fixed version checked against its published fingerprint.

Where it keeps your work

~/Library/Application Support/Hub
Your hubs and their notes, the copies of the files you added, and the app’s own caches. The folder keeps the app’s first name, Hub.
~/Library/Preferences/app.hub.desktop.plist
A small settings file macOS keeps for every app.

To remove it

  1. Quit Meeting Hub, then move it from Applications to the Bin.
  2. Your hubs stay behind, so you do not lose them by accident.
  3. To remove them too: in the Finder choose Go, then Go to Folder, type each place under Where it keeps your work, and move it to the Bin.
