Requirements

  • A Mac with Apple Silicon or an Intel processor
  • macOS 13 or newer
  • Terminal, which is part of macOS

Install with one command

  1. Open Terminal

    Open Spotlight with Command and Space, type Terminal, and press Return.

  2. Paste the install command

    The command downloads the app, checks its SHA-256, and puts AliasMode in Applications. macOS shows no warning for this install.

    curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aliasmode/aliasmode/main/scripts/install-macos.sh | bash -s -- --version 0.1.0-beta.72

  3. Open AliasMode

    Open AliasMode from Applications. Sign in to Cloud, or select Continue locally instead, then create your first profile.

Open the download page Create your first profile

Install from the disk image

The download page also has .dmg files: one for Apple Silicon and one for Intel. Apple has not notarized the beta, so macOS blocks the app the first time you open it. Open System Settings, go to Privacy & Security, and select Open Anyway. The Terminal command has no such step.

What works on a Mac

  • AliasMode Firefox profiles, with our own open-source antidetect engine
  • AliasMode Chromium profiles on Chromium 155. The app downloads the engine the first time you open such a profile
  • CloakBrowser profiles that were made on Windows. The app downloads CloakBrowser for Mac for them
  • Scripts in JavaScript and Python
  • The MCP server for AI agents on the same Mac
  • Remote MCP for AI clients on other computers, in a Cloud workspace
  • AliasMode Cloud sync and team folders
  • In-app updates

Differences from Windows

  • A new Chrome profile on an Apple Silicon Mac always uses AliasMode Chromium (Chromium 155). On Windows you can also select Chrome 146 through CloakBrowser
  • CloakBrowser publishes Chrome 145 for Mac and Chrome 146 for Windows. A CloakBrowser profile from Windows shows the Mac version when it opens on a Mac
  • On an Intel Mac, Chrome profiles use CloakBrowser (Chrome 145 for Mac), because Chromium 155 has no Intel Mac build. A Chromium 155 profile cannot open on an Intel Mac. It opens on Apple Silicon Macs, Windows, and Linux. AliasMode Firefox works the same on both

Updates

The app tells you when a new version is available and installs it with one click. You can also run the install command again: it replaces the app and keeps your profiles.

Run from source

Developers can run the Apache-2.0 client from source with Bun. The dashboard and the Local API bind to loopback only.

git clone https://github.com/aliasmode/aliasmode.git
cd aliasmode
bun install
bun cli.ts start

FAQ

Is there a Mac app?

Yes. AliasMode for Mac is a native app for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Install it with the Terminal command on this page or from the download page.

Does AliasMode work on an Intel Mac?

Yes. The Mac app runs on Intel Macs and Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 13 or newer. The Terminal command picks the right build. On an Intel Mac, Chrome profiles use CloakBrowser, and a Chromium 155 profile cannot open there.

Why does macOS block the .dmg?

Apple has not notarized the beta. Use the Terminal command, which shows no warning, or select Open Anyway under Privacy & Security in System Settings.

Can a Mac open profiles that were made on Windows?

Yes. Cloud sync and export/import carry profiles between Windows and Mac. Firefox and Chromium 155 profiles open in the same engine, and CloakBrowser profiles open in CloakBrowser for Mac.

Does Remote MCP work on a Mac?

Yes, since 0.1.0-beta.60. In a Cloud workspace, the Mac app hosts Remote MCP for AI clients on other computers.
