MacAppBlocker 1.4.1 for OS X - A Single Password Protects Selected App - Published on 05/05/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KnewSense today announces MacAppBlocker 1.4.1 for OS X, an update to their Utility that enables users to block access to any application by placing it on a Blocked App list that is password protected. A safer and more practical solution for insuring privacy than creating multiple login accounts, MacAppBlocker allows the user to share their computer or leave it unattended, while being assured that sensitive apps and documents cannot be opened. The simple app appears as a convenient Menu Bar icon.

Clinton Twp, Michigan - KnewSense today is pleased to announce the release of MacAppBlocker 1.4.1 for OS X, an update to their Utility that enables users to block access to any application by placing it on a Blocked App list that is password protected. A safer and more practical solution for insuring privacy than creating multiple login accounts, MacAppBlocker allows the user to share their computer or leave it unattended, while being assured that sensitive apps and documents cannot be opened. In addition, a timeout value may be assigned to each app on the list, so that the app will automatically close after a specified period of inactivity. The simple app appears as a convenient Menu Bar icon, and gives the user the option of whether or not it launches automatically at startup.

MacAppBlocker requires minimal setup for operation. First, the user must supply a private password, which will unlock both the utility itself as well as any application that has been placed on its Blocked App list. Once started, the app runs in the background, occupying little RAM and using minuscule CPU resources only when the app's password is entered or changes are made to the Blocked App list. The number of applications that can be placed under the utility's protection is virtually unlimited. The second step is clicking the " " icon to add applications to the list.

On attempting to launch any application on the Blocked App list, the standard OS X "Enter Password" window opens, stating, "Type Your MacAppBlocker password to allow access to this application." Entering the password instantly opens the application, and failed attempts are recorded in the utility's Blocked App list, displaying the number of failed attempts, the date, time, and a photo of the user. The app's Menu Bar lock icon turns red, notifying the user that an unsuccessful attempt has been made to open blocked data/apps. Additional protection is provided by the utility's timeout feature, which automatically closes any listed app after a specified period of inactivity (30 sec., 5 min., 10 min., 20 min.). Of course, listed applications can be easily added or deleted, and all protection can be disabled for a single session, resuming on restart.

Feature Highlights:
* Does not modify any system or application files
* Runs in the background waiting to intercept an application launch
* Works with the majority of Mac applications - Mail, Safari, Firefox, System Preferences, etc.
* Logs invalid or failed attempts to launch application with date and time
* Alerts users to a possible failed attempt with a visible red icon in the taskbar
* Can automatically Exit an inactive application - great for Apple Mail and Safari
* Optionally exit ALL protected apps at System Startup

"Kids, co-workers, family members, guests - no worries," stated Ken Orlo of KnewSense. "You pick which apps will be protected and Mac App Blocker keeps them secure. Tracks failed attempts to access the protected apps - so you'll know when it happened."

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.6 or above
* 2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
MacAppBlocker 1.4.1 is $14.95 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the KnewSense website. A 15-day free trial download is also available.
