macos-privacy-dev-setup

A ready-to-deploy starter kit that bootstraps a privacy-first, ADHD-friendly macOS terminal + developer environment — includes Objective-See integration, AI-friendly CLI hooks, and a translational add-on for iPad Pro. Clone it, run ./install.sh, and you’re set.

Quick start (5 min)

git clone <repo_url_or_zip> ~/macos-privacy-dev-setup
cd ~/macos-privacy-dev-setup
./install.sh

What it installs / configures

• Xcode Command Line Tools (if missing)
• Homebrew (idempotent)
• iTerm2 (cask)
• LuLu + BlockBlock (Objective-See) via brew cask where available
• zsh config, aliases, privacy defaults
• verify-auth-plugins.sh (security audit)
• Optional Powerlevel10k prompt
• AI CLI helper stub (ai.sh) which you configure with your API key
• iPad translational folder for a-Shell / Blink workflows

Design principles

• Minimal defaults, privacy-first, low cognitive load.
• Non-destructive: scripts are idempotent and print actions before doing them.
• No hidden actions: review any shell scripts before running.
• Prompt for user approval when needed (macOS security).

Post-install steps

1. Restart your terminal.
2. Approve system security prompts if asked (LuLu, BlockBlock, etc).
3. Optionally, set up the iPad translational folder (for code flow to a-Shell/Blink).

Repo contents

• install.sh: main setup/install script
• .zshrc, .p10k.zsh: shell config
• verify-auth-plugins.sh: quick security audit script
• ai.sh: starter stub for AI CLI integrations
• config/: config files & add-ons
• ipad-sync/: folder for iPad code transfer

Security

No telemetry. No data collection. AI API key usage is opt-in & local only.
