How Alpaca helps your family
Alpaca is designed to work quietly in the background, helping to protect everyone who uses your Mac.
Malware, Viruses & Ransomware
Hackers create fake websites to install viruses, ransomware, and malicious software. One wrong click could be costly. Alpaca is designed to help catch these threats before they cause harm.
Scams & Identity Theft
Fake login pages that steal your identity. Bogus emails from "your bank." Alpaca is designed to help block known scam sites before your family gets tricked.
Inappropriate Content
The internet is full of content no child should see. Alpaca is designed to help filter adult and harmful websites, giving parents more peace of mind.
Tracking & Profiling
Companies observe, track, and profile you and your children - for financial gain. Alpaca is designed to help block these invisible watchers.
Predatory Advertising
Ads that promote costly or inappropriate products and services to your family. Alpaca helps filter out deceptive and unwanted advertising.
Regularly Updated Protection
New online threats emerge constantly. Alpaca receives regular updates designed to help keep your family's protection current.
Your Browsing Stays on Your Mac
All filtering happens locally on your Mac. We don't see, collect, or store any information about your browsing activity.
Runs Quietly in the Background
No constant notifications. No interruptions. Alpaca is designed to work unobtrusively so you can forget it's there.
Protects Every App on Your Mac
Safari, Chrome, Firefox, games, apps - Alpaca helps protect them all. Unlike browser add-ons that only work in one place, Alpaca is designed to filter threats everywhere.
Nothing Extra to Install
No fiddly browser add-ons to set up. No settings to adjust. Install Alpaca once and it's designed to protect all your browsers automatically.
Designed for Organisational Use
Alpaca aims to complement - not conflict with - your organisation's VPNs, firewalls, and security policies. Designed to fit into most environments.
How Alpaca Helps Protect Your Mac
Alpaca uses content filtering across your Mac - a simple but effective approach that's designed to help protect your entire Mac.
You browse normally
Use Safari, Chrome, or any app. Alpaca works in the background without changing how you browse.
Alpaca checks each request
When any app tries to connect to a website, Alpaca checks it against regularly updated filter lists.
Risky content is filtered
Potentially harmful websites, trackers, and advert servers are filtered before they can load.
Safe content loads normally
Everything else works as expected. No slowdowns, no interruptions - just quieter, safer browsing.
All filtering happens locally on your Mac. We never see or store your browsing data.
