me.hide.osxhelper
OSXHelper is a launchDaemon component of Hide, a macOS privacy and security utility. Hide is designed to help users manage application permissions, block tracking, and control which apps can access sensitive system resources like location, contacts, photos, and microphone input. OSXHelper runs in the background to enforce Hide's privacy policies and intercept permission requests at the system level.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionOSXHelper is not a standalone application — it is a system daemon that is part of the Hide privacy app. You cannot update this component separately through the App Store or a generic download. To ensure OSXHelper is running a native Apple Silicon build, you must update the Hide application itself. Check the Hide app's built-in updater (usually found in the app menu or Preferences) or visit Hide's official website to download the latest version. Once you update Hide to its current native build, OSXHelper will be updated automatically. If Hide has not yet shipped a native Apple Silicon version, contact the developer to ask about their migration timeline — any Intel-only components like OSXHelper will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028).
