No one should download this. You're an internet anon making promises about what happens after a leap of faith is already taken.

No promises - if you don’t feel safe, definitely don’t install. I’ll work on getting a minimal version open sourced ASAP. Until then, treat it like a curiosity or don’t touch it at all.

Main reason for closed-source: I’m paranoid about leaking stuff that could be exploited, and the code is still a mess. I plan to open-source once the core is stable and not embarrassing.

You said it works offline. From your site:

Works Offline: Core protection features function perfectly without an internet connection.

So what could there be to exploit?

I plan to open-source once the core is stable and not embarrassing.

You're too embarrassed to show your code, but you're not too embarrassed to ask people to trust you with a tool that probably requires root access?

ShieldKey monitors file access, blocks malicious sites/extensions, checks network connections, and guards system files—all in real-time, locally on your Mac.

Fair enough. Not open-sourcing from day one isn’t about hiding anything malicious; it’s just me being a perfectionist about code quality and avoiding ‘script kiddie’ exploits while things are still raw. No one should trust a new closed-source security tool, especially one that touches wallet files.

If anyone wants to audit or review, I can provide limited source or walkthroughs privately for now. Full open source is the plan after v1 beta feedback and tightening up anything stupid I missed as a solo dev.

Not trying to ‘hide’ - just not ready to defend half-baked code in public yet. If that’s a dealbreaker, 100% respect that, app’s not for you (yet).

Craigslist has a "Best Of" feature, where users can submit any page on the site as an example, along with a description of why they think it is so great.

I would submit this comment as the best of example for dyor.

It's comically dangerous to do this type of research on your personal computer. Please, please be careful.
