xattred overview
xattred lets you inspect and edit all extended attributes (xattrs) associated with a file or folder, cut/copy/paste any xattr between files or folders, create your own new xattrs with arbitrary contents, and add a quarantine xattr to force a full Gatekeeper check without downloading the file. Also has a crawler to explore types, sizes, and content of xattrs. Now supports adding and stripping xattr tags to control their preservation, and valuable interface improvements

Version: 1.3
This is probably for advanced users, but Eclecticlight is a goldmine of free apps to manage your OS, your files, etc. This one explores the unknown world of "extended attributes": as for now, I can only see one use, stripping the quarantine flag from downloaded files (or from an entire folder/drive) to avoid the warning message in the Finder when you open them, and some issues that arose since Mojave. Pratique and Sandstrip are 2 other interesting utilities by Eclecticlight, specifically dedicated to strip quarantine flags. I also recommend Lockrattler and Silentknight, which deals with other security aspects of the OS.
