What does GATE Companion for Mac do?
GATE Companion for Mac is a free app that connects your Mac to your own GATE agent. You decide what it reaches: one window you share, one folder you share, or exact commands you allow. Every step on your screen waits for your OK unless you say otherwise, and you can take it all back in one click.
Share a folder
It reads one folder, never the disk
Pick one folder and your agent can list, search and, if you switch it on, read the files in it. Nothing in it can be changed, moved or deleted that way.
Allow commands
It runs what you allowed, as you
Allow exact commands in the folders you name, and your agent can run them for you. Anything you did not allow is refused.

What is GATE Companion for Mac?

How do I install GATE Companion for Mac?
