Currently the app is installed under a specific version name i.e. VocabSieve-v0.12.2-macos-arm64. It should ideally be installed as VocabSieve.

Try this Installation
You Should be able to change the name of the program with
mv ~/path/to/application ~/new/path/to/application has to be in ~/Applications folder tho...

After downloading run the following command
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/VocabSieve-v0.12.2-macos-arm64.app

Also why would you want to rename it? Does not make sense to me... But if you want to do
mv /Applications/VocabSieve-v0.12.2-macos-arm64.app /Applications/VocabSieve.app
And if you break something either name it back, or download it again. Make sure you are in the applications folder when running the mv command. with cd /Applications/

Cheers :)

Thanks. I guess I should've clarified. Ideally any version upgrades for an app should not be added as a separate app entry in /Applications/ folder. Typically, it all goes under the same parent name (VocabSieve in this case) and during version upgrades, users get asked whether they want to overwrite the previous version or install as a separate version.
