 Replying to [comment:3 jmroot]:
 > We don't have any control over how Apple reports things. We don't set my
 name as the name of the software anywhere, so Apple is just pulling it
 from the Developer ID used to sign the binaries. The exact wording of the
 message is "software //from// Joshua Root" to be fair, which is accurate.

 Per the screenshot in the Reddit post linked in the issue description, in
 macOS Sonoma at least, and maybe already in macOS Ventura, in System
 (Settings|Preferences) -> General -> Login Items, there is a section below
 the login items that shows launchd plists. It doesn't say "software from
 Joshua Root" there; it says only "Joshua Root".

 The developer of Tunnelblick is having a similar problem with his
 software: https://github.com/Tunnelblick/Tunnelblick/issues/771
