Hands Off!

Hands Off! is a super handy app for your Mac that helps you keep an eye on how apps use the internet and your disk. This means you can protect your privacy while still using all sorts of utilities without worrying about losing data or having anything sent out without your permission.

Getting Started with Hands Off!

When you fire up Hands Off! for the first time, it takes you through a quick setup assistant. This little helper installs everything you need and helps you make some easy choices about how to monitor things.

User-Friendly Menu

For your convenience, Hands Off! adds a small menu right in your status bar. This lets you quickly turn access rules on or off or jump into the configuration panel whenever you need to. If you've got the Network Monitor feature activated, this menu also lets you open that panel easily (or just hit Option + Command + G for a shortcut).

Create Custom Access Rules

Inside the Hands Off! Configuration window, setting up new access rules is a breeze! You can allow, deny, ask for permission, hide apps, or even use preset options. Plus, it works great with specific applications or system services.

Control Your Network Usage

This nifty utility even helps manage network usage for both incoming and outgoing connections. It can limit how apps read from and write to your disk too.

Fine-Tune Your Settings

If you're dealing with network access rules, you have the option to set limits based on certain IP addresses, ports, or protocols. The same goes for disk access: you'll just need to specify which exact area of the disk you're talking about.

Your Safety Net

Overall, Hands Off! gives you peace of mind when running untrusted applications. You won’t have to worry about any data leaks because it effectively controls both incoming and outgoing network traffic as well as reading and writing permissions on your disk.
