Show HN: Secure your AI agents on Mac

https://installplango.com/
2•frohrer•55m ago
Plango is a Mac native security suite for anyone running AI coding tools. It works by running a custom local security model that evaluates threats against the lethal trifecta (data access, communication, exposure).

Some cool features: - Restrict Agent access by type of data (ssh keys, env files) or finder tags (finally a good reason to use the color tags in finder). - On device security model, but can switch to another local agent or bring your own key. - Review your Mac's privacy and access, apps, startup & extensions. - Automatically move env secrets into keychain. - Network blocks/allow lists, see what apps and agents are accessing. Stop them from data exfil. - Check skills and plugins for bad behavior. - Create custom rules for all of these things. - Log every action, request, block etc in an easy dashboard. - Vuln scan of all projects on your Mac.

About us: I'm Fred, long term hacker first time shower. My co-founder Rich and I care about privacy, security and believe that AI software development is the future. We have two decades of combined experience in cyber, NLP and AI and are working on this tool full time. Given how fast cyber is evolving we're pushing changes to this on a daily basis.

Please download and trial for free! We're here to answer any questions about the app or cyber/AI.

By the way -- zero data retention. Always. Not here to train on your data.

A big value add for cyber products like this is in the maintenance. We watch CVEs and cyber events and update this code to make sure you're solid against new vulnerabilities.
