Axe

Axe is a cool app that gives you more control over your typing security. You know how when you're entering a password, Apple automatically kicks into Secure Input mode? This blocks other apps from spying on your keystrokes. But what if you need to type something sensitive that isn’t a password? That’s where Axe comes in!

Why Use Axe for Extra Security?

Axe is super easy to use! Just click once to turn on Secure Input anytime you want. It’s perfect for those moments when you’re entering sensitive info—like credit card numbers or private messages. Plus, it’ll alert you if another app has activated Secure Input, so you always know what's going on.

Peace of Mind with Secure Input

Even though Apple does a great job with security, it's smart to be cautious about sensitive information. There’s always a chance that a sneaky keylogger could be lurking around. With Axe, just one click and bam! Your typing is safe and sound.

Easy Access from the Menu Bar

The menu bar icon makes it easy to see if Secure Input is active or not. If it’s off, don't worry! The app will tell you if another process has turned it on—like when you're filling out a password field.

Customize Your Experience

If you want even more convenience, right-click the menu bar icon and set up Axe to launch at login. That way, it can automatically turn on Secure Input as soon as your computer starts up.

Trustworthy and Safe

If you're hesitant about using third-party apps for typing security, there’s no need to stress with Axe! It's fully open-source and sandboxed, which means it keeps your data safe while controlling Apple’s Secure Input feature. It doesn't put your information at risk in any way.
