Thoughtful software. A calmer computer.

01 / AccessWatch

## Your Mac remembers every yes. Now it remembers no.

Your Mac remembers every yes. Now it remembers no.

-

    **Say no once**

    Choose “Say no, and stop asking me” the next time a pop-up appears. From then on, when that app asks for the same thing, AccessWatch presses Don’t Allow for you after a short pause, so you can still see what happened.

-

    **Keep your focus**

    Permission pop-ups arrive while you’re typing, presenting or on a call. The ones you’ve already refused stop getting in your way, and you stay in what you were doing.

-

    **Know who’s really asking**

    When something new asks, a card appears beside the pop-up: which app asked, what you were using at the time, who made it, and how often it has asked before. Then you decide.

The way we build

## Feels at home. Works your way.

### Built for the Mac

Each app has a native Mac interface and a focused job. Check its page for the supported macOS version.

### You choose the action

AccessWatch explains a permission pop-up and only ever says no for you.

### Clear about connections

AccessWatch keeps your prompts and history on the Mac and goes online only for its license, update and offer checks. Apps that connect to outside services describe those connections on their own pages.

Start with a task

## Start from the job

Find a practical way through the task in front of you, from a crowded disk or a slow Mac to a first draft.
