AppLocker

AppLocker is a nifty little tool for your Mac that really ups the security game, especially if you share your computer with others. It’s like having a personal bouncer for your apps!

What Can AppLocker Do?

The cool thing about the AppLocker app is that it lets you set a master password. This means you can create a list of apps that only you can access. So if someone tries to sneak into those apps without your permission, they'll hit a wall!

Easy Setup with AppLocker

Getting started is super easy! AppLocker comes with a setup assistant that helps you set up your master key. Just remember, once you set this password, there’s no way to get it back if you forget it. So make sure it’s something you won’t lose!

Default Protection Features

By default, AppLocker will automatically protect some important apps like the Activity Monitor, Console, Script Editor, System Preferences, and Terminal. You can easily tweak these settings from the app's preferences menu.

Customizing Your Security

You have the power to choose which apps get locked down from prying eyes! Plus, it’ll even lock all AppleScript-based apps automatically if that's what you want.

Make Sure It Stays Active

A quick heads up: AppLocker only prevents access when it's running. To make sure it's always there protecting your stuff, be sure to add it so it opens up automatically every time you log in.

The Bottom Line on AppLocker

In short, AppLocker gives you an awesome way to keep certain applications off-limits to anyone else who might use your Mac. Once it's running and someone tries to open those locked apps, they’ll be asked for that all-important master password!
