About:
Airpass is a lightweight menu bar utility designed to bypass time limits imposed on public WiFi networks. It works by periodically spoofing the network interface's MAC address, effectively resetting the session timer. This allows users to maintain uninterrupted internet access in locations like airports, hotels, or cafes without needing to reconnect manually.
Key Features:
  • Automatic MAC address spoofing to reset session timers
  • Non-intrusive menu bar interface for easy control
  • No root privileges required for operation
  • Minimal system resource usage
Use Cases:
  • Extending WiFi sessions in airports and hotels with time limits
  • Maintaining connectivity in cafes that enforce session timeouts
  • Avoiding repeated login prompts on public networks
Alternatives:
  • manual-techniques – Requires terminal commands to spoof MAC address; Airpass automates this process
