Tool auto-dismisses macOS local network permission prompts
Original: Show HN: Auto Dismiss Mac OS "Allow <app> to find devices on local networks?"
Developer John Cassil has released DontAllow, an open-source tool for macOS that automatically dismisses the recurring 'Allow [app] to find devices on local networks?' permission dialogs. The prompts, introduced by Apple for privacy, annoy users of apps like Steam that trigger them repeatedly. The utility is available on GitHub and is drawing attention among developers tired of clicking through the same dialog.
Why now: Users find the frequently repeated macOS local network permission prompt annoying and are sharing a tool that removes the friction.
