com.metakine.handsoff.daemon
This is a launch daemon component from Metakine that runs as a background service. It is part of the Metakine HandsOff application, which is a Mac utility that lets users prevent specific apps and processes from accessing network resources, the clipboard, camera, microphone and other sensitive system features. The daemon handles the enforcement of these privacy restrictions at the system level.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis daemon is a sub-component of the HandsOff application from Metakine — it is not separately installable or updatable. To ensure it runs natively on Apple Silicon, you must update the parent HandsOff application itself to the latest version. Visit the Metakine website or check your copy of HandsOff (typically found in Applications) for an update; Metakine's own updater will pull the native Apple Silicon build if available. If HandsOff is still running as Intel-only under Rosetta 2, updating through Metakine's standard installer or the app's built-in update mechanism will get you the native version. If you have not yet confirmed whether Metakine has shipped a native Apple Silicon build of HandsOff, contact Metakine directly or check their website for compatibility information, as the daemon will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027).
