I'm not sure how this is relevant? The code is signed but that doesn't mean it doesn't contain backdoors. Without it being open source or at the very least source-available, we can't know
This is of course true of many other apps we run on Mac (though I suspect a non-zero number of common apps have backdoors); Obsidian also runs without sandboxing though, is used by many to record their innermost thoughts, and as the author mentioned, there's also the potential for data to leak via compromised extensions.
Am I missing something, or does the fact that it's signed tell us nothing except that the Obsidian company signed off on it? If so, I'd really like to understand if you had a purpose of sharing this... is there a tacit implication that "surely a company can be trusted"?
