Id also block any application that one would use to deleteremove apps from the system, just in case someone tried to use one of those apps to remove MacAppBlocker, even though in my tests trying to delete MacAppBlocker required the Admin password on my system.

Set a timeout value to automatically exit the protected application, so even when you leave your computer unattended, youre still protected.

Subscribe How would you rate Mac App Blocker app Post review 19 Reviews of Mac App Blocker 5 Fhf 19 February 2012 Version: 1.3 Most helpful A friend who is switching from Yahoo mail to Apples Mail app asked me if there was anyway to password-protect Mail so that roommates, who have access to his Mac, cant easily peruse his mail.

After poking around the web I stumbled upon MacAppBlocker, and installed it on my MacBook Pro to test it.

Ive only used it a short time, but it does exactly what the developer says: keeps anyone who doesnt know your password from opening protected apps.

The app is very easy to configure and use, and youre alerted if someone does try to access one of your protected apps: MacAppBlockers menu icon turns red.

MacAppBlocker is not a high-security app; a computer-savvy intruder can access documents other ways than thru the app which created them.

But in a casual setting (family computer use, roommates, etc) it might be a fine solution.

And no, I have nothing to do with the developer; Im just fairly enthusiastic about the app, which seems to be well done.

LeandroP3311 09 December 2017 Version: 3.2.1 Great app to protect my browser mail app.

I love that I can set it to hide the apps after some time of not being used, and then ask again a password to open them.

Off course there are ways to bypass the app as another used commented, but at least for me, im not surrounded by people with that skills, i just want to keep away from my stuff the people in the office or someone stealing my computer.

Also Ken has been very responsive after the mails I sent him asking some fixes.

Tommy-Gun 06 November 2016 Version: 3.0.0 This is so easy to circumvent: Two ways: - Because you cannot remove the.app file yourself, you need a decent uninstaller like iTrash or AppDelete.

They will force it to delete and it works every time, even with locked apps like this.

Succesfully removed it on macOS10.12 - Write a small AppleScript (if the script editor is locked too, use another system) and save it as a AppleScript: tell application System Events try do shell script killall MacAppBlocker delete login item MacAppBlocker end try end tell Run the scripts and gone is the protection.

Beside the poor protection, even for an average user, the app itself is badly written.

It does sometimes locks up the CPU with high peak usages, which seems random.

My question is, is there a way you can disable the stealth mode without using the hotkey (0) Show comment ( 1 ) Moxiesozo 30 August 2015 Version: 2.7.7 Developers web site is down.

Thanks, (1) Show comment ( 1 ) 4.5 Cartelclover1983 21 April 2014 Version: 2.6.2 After testing MacAppBlocker out for over a week and reviewing it on my youtube channel under AppLookReviews Ive determined, its a solid offering that provides an extra layer of protection for your apps, similar to that of an encryption app provides for your files andor folders.

After testing the app for best practices Id block activity monitor, terminal and system preferences as the app recommends, along with stealth mode.
