AdGuard is an ad and popup blocking app for Safari on iOS, iPadOS and macOS. The listing describes enabling filters for ad blocking, privacy, social widgets, annoyances, security and language, and notes the free version is enough. Users can report incorrect blocking through the app's support option.
OverSight is a macOS tool that monitors a Mac's microphone and webcam, alerting the user whenever either is activated or deactivated. It requires macOS 12 or later and administrative privileges to install and run. The project is open source and can alert even when the system is already infected, though in some cases it cannot identify the responsible process.
RansomWhere? is a macOS utility that analyzes file entropy to identify encryption activity and detect untrusted processes creating encrypted files. It suspends suspect processes and alerts the user, who can allow or block them. It runs on macOS 10.15 and later.
GPG Suite is a macOS package that includes GPG Mail, GPG Keychain, GPG Services and MacGPG for OpenPGP key management. GPG Mail 8 for macOS Golden Gate is in beta and requires an active GPG Mail 7 Support Plan; from GPG Mail 8 the Support Plan becomes a yearly subscription. Some features are still missing.
1Blocker is a Safari ad blocker for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. It blocks ads, trackers and other unwanted web content, with over 120,000 built-in blocker rules. Filtering is done locally on the device, and settings sync over iCloud. Multiple filters cover ads, privacy, annoyances and adult content.
BlockBlock is a macOS security tool that monitors common persistence locations and alerts whenever a new persistent component is added. It uses Apple's Endpoint Security Framework, requires system privileges and Full Disk Access, and runs automatically after restart to provide continual protection. Alerts identify the responsible process and the persisted item, and users can allow or block it.
Whoami is a privacy and anonymity tool for Debian and Arch based Linux distributions. It uses multiple modules to keep online activity private, does not track users or keep logs, and offers a command-line interface with auto-complete and history-based suggestions. The documentation page is marked as coming soon.
