Show HN: Airlock, which sandboxes AI agents, is available on the Mac App Store
Now that Airlock is available on the Mac App Store, I thought it was worth a resubmission. Quickly run your AI agents (Claude, Codex) in a disposable VM. Block the agent from making requests to unknown or untrusted hosts, and get a log of everything that it does - then only bring back the changes you actually want. It's free, and has no tracking or analytics. It requires a Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 26+

Version & cost evidence
Source votes: 1 votes (Oct 22, 2026 UTC; cumulative since publication); previous same-scope observation: 1 (Oct 22, 2026 UTC). These observations do not establish demand growth. Recent records to compare: “Show HN: AI-drop project – drop traffic fast from misbehaving crawlers (AGPL)” (Show HN, Nov 13, 2026); “Show HN: Wonderchat – A Zendesk alternative that doesn't charge per seat” (Show HN, Nov 13, 2026). Shared themes are navigation hints; they have not been verified as the same need or independent corroboration.
Who is affected
Identify the existing workflow this change affects before recommending an upgrade. Launch attention does not establish improvement; an API, pricing or availability change may instead create migration work.
Missing comparison points
Missing checks: old versus new behavior, affected plans and regions, availability date, compatibility, rollback path and cost under the same workload.
Migration check
Save the release or policy notice, run the same task on the old and new option, and compare outputs and the full bill. For retirement notices, verify the deadline before scheduling migration.
