Blocked by SmartScreen or an antivirus?
mdpeek runs entirely on your computer and uploads nothing. The warning appears only because the app doesn't carry an expensive code-signing certificate — it's a false positive. Click "More info" → "Run anyway". You can also grab the exact same builds from GitHub Releases, where every asset's checksum is visible.
