Keep your Mac safe
while you're roaming.
RoamGuard looks at your Mac's real security settings, locks it down with one click before you travel, and explains anything you don't understand — in a sentence a human would actually say. Free local AI included, not an upsell.
Free. No account. Apple Silicon, macOS 14+.

Tested, not just promised.
We ran RoamGuard's AI with every connection to the internet switched off, right down to the operating system level. It still answered correctly. That's not a claim — it's something you can go verify on your own Mac, right now, by turning off Wi-Fi.
- No account, ever. Nothing to sign up for, nothing tied to your identity.
- The AI runs on your Mac. Questions, answers, and your security findings never leave the device.
- Exactly five kinds of network request. Apple's own update check, the U.S. government's public vulnerability list, a public CVE lookup by ID, the one-time AI model download — and, in Pro, a Homebrew update you click yourself, which tells Homebrew the name of the package you're updating. That list is complete.
- No telemetry, no analytics, no installed-app inventory sent anywhere. Ever.
Three things, done properly.
Roaming Mode
One switch, before you land at the hotel or the airport. Turns off AirPlay Receiver, Handoff, AirDrop, file and screen sharing, and switches your firewall to block incoming connections — even from apps you'd already allowed. Turn it back off and everything returns exactly where it was.
Check My Mac
FileVault, System Integrity Protection, Gatekeeper, your firewall, pending updates, open network ports, outdated Homebrew packages, background items from other apps, which apps your firewall lets in, and whether anything installed is on the U.S. government's list of actively exploited vulnerabilities. Ten real checks, explained in plain language, with exactly what to do next — or confirmation there's nothing to do at all.
Ask it anything — free
A local AI companion that actually knows what RoamGuard found on your Mac, and explains it without jargon. "Is my firewall really blocking everything?" gets a real, specific answer — not a canned one. Runs entirely on-device. Free, permanently — not a trial, not a hook for the paid tier.
See what your Mac lets in, starts, and runs.
Three screens for the parts of macOS that are normally buried or invisible. Every entry is real, read from your Mac, and one click from a plain-English "What's this?" answer from the free AI — using only what RoamGuard found on your Mac, never a web search.
The firewall list nobody finds.
macOS keeps a per-app firewall list three menus deep in System Settings. RoamGuard shows all of it: each app's real name, who signed it, whether it's still installed, and whether it can accept connections. Allow, Block or Remove any entry right there. Blocking is instant. Letting an app back in asks for your Mac's own Touch ID or password, just as System Settings would — unless you're simply undoing a block you made a moment ago.
- Signer and Team ID read from the app's own code signature
- Leftover entries for apps you've deleted, called out
Everything that starts by itself.
Every program your Mac launches on its own, from the three folders apps quietly drop startup files into — grouped by who made it, with empty leftovers and items whose program is gone set apart. Turn one off and RoamGuard stops it and sets its file aside; Undo puts it back exactly as it was, down to its owner and permissions. It tells you plainly first that turning one off can stop its app syncing or updating, and that some apps put theirs back.
- Parts of macOS are shown, never offered for removal
- System-wide items need an administrator's approval
Developer tools, kept current.
If you — or whoever set up your Mac — installed tools with Homebrew, RoamGuard lists every package with a newer version: what it is, the version you have, the version you'd get, and an Update button for that one package. Nothing updates unless you click. And when everything's current, it just says so, like it does on the Mac in this screenshot.
- One package at a time, only when you click Update
- Homebrew's own usage reports stay switched off
Free is actually free.
Checks, Roaming Mode, and the AI companion are free forever — not a trial. Pro adds the things that make sense to pay for: monitoring that runs on its own, and real control over your firewall list, startup programs and Homebrew packages.
