Downloading RPCleaner

Your download should start automatically. Follow the steps below to get set up.

Preparing download...

Get started in 4 steps

Since RPCleaner comes from our site (not the App Store), macOS needs a quick one-time approval.

RPCleaner DMG installer window showing the app icon and Applications folder

Open the .dmg file

Double-click the downloaded file to mount it. Drag RPCleaner into the Applications folder, then launch it.

RPCleaner requesting Accessibility Access permission with Open System Settings button

Click "Open System Settings"

RPCleaner needs Accessibility permission to protect your wallets. Click Open System Settings to continue.

System Settings Accessibility panel showing RPCleaner toggle switch

Toggle RPCleaner on

Find RPCleaner in the list and flip the toggle. You may need to enter your password or use Touch ID to confirm.

RPCleaner Browser Security Scan screen showing supported browsers

You're protected

RPCleaner is now active. It will scan your browsers for wallet extensions and guard your RPC connections in real time.

On an older macOS? You may see a Gatekeeper warning

macOS Gatekeeper dialog: RPCleaner Not Opened

Click "Done", then open System Settings

macOS may block RPCleaner the first time. Click Done, then go to System Settings > Privacy & Security.

Privacy and Security showing Open Anyway button for RPCleaner

Click "Open Anyway"

Scroll down to the Security section. You will see "RPCleaner" was blocked. Click Open Anyway and confirm.

💡

Why does macOS do this? Apps downloaded from the internet (outside the App Store) need your manual approval the first time. This is a standard macOS security feature called Gatekeeper. You only need to do this once -- after that, RPCleaner opens normally like any other app.
