Antivirus AI is coming to Mac: True AI protection for macOS (Q4/2025)

Antivirus AI is coming to Mac (Q4 2025) with real‑time protection, a Dual Engine (signatures + AI), Whitelist, Quarantine, and a USB scan for iPhone/iPad (e.g., checking backups and suspicious indicators). Our Android version is AV‑TEST certified, validated by TGLabs, and won the 2025 BIG Innovation Award and the AI Excellence Award — a track record you can count on. Join the waitlist now to get beta invites and early‑bird perks.

macOS next: Fast, lightweight, no data collection 
Antivirus AI is taking the next step: macOS. Our AI security app is coming to your Mac in Q4 2025 — fast, lightweight, and without data collection. With real‑time protection, a Dual Engine (signatures + AI), Whitelist & Quarantine, and a USB scan for iPhone/iPad, you’ll stay a step ahead of emerging threats. Privacy first is our core: no tracking, no ad IDs, and data‑minimal by design from day one.

Why now? Macs are in the crosshairs — and AI is the answer 
The days when macOS was “secure by default” are over. Attacks are faster, more targeted, and better disguised. Classic scanners often only detect what’s already known. Antivirus AI combines proven signatures with self‑learning AI that analyzes behavior and patterns — proactively blocking new and previously unknown malware. 
Security that adapts to your Mac — not the other way around.

Instead of relying on outdated signature lists, Antivirus AI evaluates every action on your Mac in real time — with a Dual Engine of signatures and real AI. That’s how we detect new and obfuscated threats that slip past signature‑only lists.

What to expect from Antivirus AI for Mac

1. AI real‑time protection 
   Threats are stopped on access — not at the next full system scan. The AI evaluates files, processes, and indicators in fractions of a second and responds proactively.
2. Dual Engine = Signatures + AI 
   The classic engine reliably blocks known threats. The AI engine identifies new and disguised malware via pattern and behavior‑based analysis.
3. Whitelist & Quarantine 
   You stay in control: whitelist trusted items, isolate detections safely, then restore or remove them with a click.
4. Scan iPhone/iPad for malware — AI‑powered, of course 
   Connect your iPhone or iPad via USB and scan files, backups, and relevant artifacts for malware indicators, vulnerabilities, and APT indicators. Antivirus AI for Mac helps spot unusual patterns so compromised content never spreads to your Mac or other devices.
5. Simple — not a bundle of separate apps 
   Many Mac suites split features across separate modules. Antivirus AI brings the essentials into one clean interface: status at a glance, precise guidance instead of alert fatigue, and Whitelist & Quarantine in one click. Less clicking, more protection.
6. Performance on Apple Silicon 
   Natively optimized for Apple Silicon and designed for on‑access protection: Antivirus AI runs low‑latency in the background and can intelligently prioritize full, in‑depth scans so you can keep working.

Why you can trust us

• AV‑TEST certified (Android): 99.8% real‑time / 99.9% widespread malware; 6/6 performance. That’s our benchmark for macOS.
• TGLabs validated: 99.956% detection under real‑world conditions — our AI approach delivers.
• App Defense Alliance / DEKRA MASA L1: Independently assessed for secure app architecture and data transmission.
• Awards 2025: BIG Innovation Award and AI Excellence Award for Antivirus AI.

We’re bringing proven AI security from Android to the Mac — tailored to the Apple ecosystem, with no compromises on privacy.

How Antivirus AI differs from classic Mac scanners

Classic scanners focus on known threats; Antivirus AI for Mac works proactively, stopping new and previously unknown threats — enabled by AI scoring and behavior analysis. Our Dual Engine views every file from two perspectives, reducing false positives. And with privacy by design — no trackers, no ad IDs, no data hunger — you stay in control. Because attacks often enter through mobile devices, you can check iPhone and iPad directly on your Mac, preventing compromised files, backups, or artifacts from spreading.

Roadmap & availability — become an early bird

The release is planned for November/December 2025. We’ll start with a closed beta, move to an open beta, and then roll out the 1.0 release. Target platforms are current macOS versions on Intel and Apple Silicon; the final compatibility list will be announced at launch. 
Note: Features and timelines are subject to change. We prioritize security and quality — your beta feedback flows directly into development.

If you join the waitlist, you’ll receive priority beta invites (limited spots), exclusive early‑bird benefits like discounts or extended licenses, and you can help shape the Mac app with your feedback.
