Secure Your Mac at the DNS Level
Protect your Mac from malware, phishing, and fake websites — before they even load. Plus, block ads and trackers for a faster, cleaner browsing experience.
Complete Protection for Your Mac
Security, privacy, and a faster browsing experience — all in one app.
Malware & Phishing Protection
Blocks connections to dangerous websites before they can harm your Mac. Threat lists are updated automatically.
DNSSEC Validated
Ensures you reach the real website, not a fake copy created by hackers. Essential protection for banking and email.
Ad & Tracker Blocking
Removes ads, pop-ups, and the invisible trackers that follow you across the internet. Pages load faster too.
Privacy by Default
Uses QNAME Minimization to reveal only the minimum domain info at each DNS step — no server sees your full query.
Built for macOS
Uses Apple's official Network Extension APIs — no root access needed. Signed and notarized by Apple for verified security.
Works on Public WiFi
Automatically pauses to let you connect to hotel, coffee shop, and airport networks. Resumes when you're online.
Developer Friendly
Create DNS overrides for local development — no more editing /etc/hosts. Route domains to custom nameservers for VPNs or internal networks.
Always Up-to-Date
Blocklists update automatically every hour to catch new threats. Get notified when a new app version is available.
Fast & Reliable
Smart caching and prefetching speed up your browsing. Sites stay accessible even when DNS servers are slow or unreachable.
