Launched on the iPhone in July, Lockdown blocks ad tracking services, analytics platforms that monitor device usage, ads, and more across all apps you use (rather than Safari like the most ad blockers). Lockdown on iOS has blocked over a billion trackers for Lockdown users, according to developer Rahul Dewan.
Lockdown for Mac is designed to be as simple and customizable as the iOS version of the app. The app comes with a preinstalled list of recommended domains to block to prevent tracking, such as Facebook tracking and analytics tracking options from companies like Google and Mixpanel, but custom lists can also be added.
The app is free and since it works on the device, there is no user data collection. Lockdown is designed by the developers behind Duet Display, and is monetized via an optional Secure Tunnel VPN service.
Lockdown can be downloaded for free from the Mac App Store. [Direct Link]
