Security
Apparency
Get a behind-the-scenes look at the security features that macOS checks when you open an app: gatekeeper, notarization, hardening, entitlements and more.
Bitwarden
Open source password manager has a nice interface, easy search, and plenty of ways to organize your items.
Clyde
Would-be thieves get blasted with a loud alarm if they close the lid on an unattended Mac.
Encrypto
Drop your file into Encrypto, give it a password, then send it securely on its way. Adds AES-256 encryption, allows optional password hints.
Ente Auth
With an app for every platform you can have 2FA authentication and end-to-end encrypted backups across all you devices.
KeePassXC
Cross-platform software saves user names, passwords, URLs, attachments and more in a single encrypted database. Entries are sorted in customizable groups, and there is an integrated search function. A browser extension is available.
Lulu
Keep track of apps, or even malware, on your Mac that are communicating with a remote server. Block anything that looks suspicious or unnecessary.
MacPass
Free, open-source, KeePass-compatible password manager works the way you would expect of a Mac-native app: tabs, autosave, undo/redo, drag and drop, and quicklook.
Suspicious Package
Check what’s inside an installer package without actually installing it. Find out where it comes from, what it installs, and what else it does.
