Auto-dismiss the macOS 'Allow X to find devices on local networks?' prompt. Presses Don't Allow for you, zero CPU idle, survives reboots.
dontallow is a tiny macOS Swift agent that automatically clicks 'Don't Allow' whenever the 'Allow X to find devices on local networks?' prompt appears. It uses the Accessibility API to watch for the dialog, runs with zero idle CPU, survives reboots, and offers allowlists, pause commands, and rules inspection for when an app genuinely needs LAN access.
Why now: Shared as a Show HN: it solves the widely annoyed-about problem of macOS Sequoia's local-network prompts reappearing endlessly (especially for Chromium browsers) with no supported way to suppress them.
Who it is for: Mac users, especially developers on Sequoia, who are tired of recurring local-network permission prompts for apps like Chrome.
