Set up in a few minutes
After setup, Aegisrook runs in the background and updates automatically.
- Move it to Applications, then open it
The firewall only works from the Applications folder. macOS checks where an app lives before it lets it filter connections.
- Read the welcome screens
They explain what Aegisrook does, what it doesn't, and what each permission is for.
- Turn on the firewall
macOS asks you to approve it in System Settings, twice. The app shows which button to click each time.
- Give Full Disk Access
This lets Aegisrook read which apps can use your camera, screen, keyboard and files. macOS keeps that list protected.
Why it asks for permissions
Each one unlocks something macOS deliberately protects. Each screen says what it's for, and the app still works, with less to show, if you say no.
Removing it
Drag Aegisrook to the Trash. It offers to turn off its firewall and delete its own data on the way out.
