About:
You'll Never Take Me Alive! is a security utility designed to enhance data protection on macOS by preventing unauthorized access to encrypted volumes. It operates by automatically dismounting specified encrypted disks when the system enters sleep mode or the screensaver activates. This ensures that sensitive data remains secure even when the machine is left unattended.
Key Features:
  • Automatic dismount of encrypted volumes on sleep or screensaver
  • Simple configuration via command line or preferences
  • Lightweight background process with minimal system impact
  • Supports various encrypted volume types (e.g., FileVault, DMG)
Use Cases:
  • Securing sensitive work data on laptops in public or shared environments
  • Compliance with security policies requiring encrypted volumes to be dismounted when idle
Alternatives:
  • FileVault – Built-in full-disk encryption; lacks the specific auto-dismount behavior for mounted encrypted volumes.
  • encrypted-volume-scripts – Custom scripts can achieve similar results but require manual setup and maintenance.
