Thanks for checking this. I will try to lower the minimum required OS. There is nothing in Sequoia that NCX is actively using.

I made a new version 3.0.3, and put it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a19g-wAYbz59SRhek4HeT52sVyprlFk4/view?usp=share_link

The deploment target is 12.4 Monterey. No need for you to update your OS ;-)
