What it does
Most Mac security tools need agents, signups, or MDM. fort doesn't. One command checks 15+ security settings: FileVault, SIP, firewall, screen lock, local admin rights, Gatekeeper, SSH, AirDrop and more. Reports a score and fixes most issues automatically. Single binary. No telemetry. MIT licensed. Perfect for developers hardening their own Mac, and for teams preparing for SOC 2 or ISO 27001 without the MDM overhead. brew install djadmin/tap/fort
fort is a free, open-source CLI that audits 15+ macOS security settings — FileVault, firewall, screen lock, SSH, Gatekeeper, Touch ID for sudo — explains each in plain English, and fixes what
fort runs 15+ security checks on your Mac and fixes what it safely can: disk encryption, firewall, screen lock, SSH, sharing and more. One binary, no agent, no signup. Three commands, the whole job. No dashboard to learn, no agent to manage, nothing running in the background. Audits every security control in under 3 seconds. Score, current state, expected state. No interpretation needed. Remediates every fixable setting. Use --dry-run first to see exactly what changes before it runs. Writes a timestamped HTML report with machine identity, per-check results, and the exact command behind each. Print to PDF in one click. Use fort inside Claude Code . Ask “is my Mac secure?” and it…from djadmin.github.io

Talanoa▲345Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
