'''[[wikipedia:Gatekeeper_(macOS)|Gatekeeper]]''' is a security technology built into Apple's macOS operating system designed to ensure that only trusted software runs on a user's Mac computer. First introduced in Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) in 2012, Gatekeeper checks applications downloaded from the internet for known malicious content before allowing them to run. While promoted as a security feature to protect users from malware, Gatekeeper has also been criticized for restricting user freedom and reinforcing Apple's control over software distribution.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Gatekeeper and runtime protection in macOS |url=https://support.apple.com/guide/security/sec5599b66df/web |url-status=live |access-date=8 May 2025 |website=Apple Support}}</ref> | '''[[wikipedia:Gatekeeper_(macOS)|Gatekeeper]]''' is a security technology built into Apple's macOS operating system designed to ensure that only trusted software runs on a user's Mac computer.
