# KnockKnock Alternative for Mac: An App Like KnockKnock

Canonical page: https://macbase.app/alternatives/knockknock

Free security tool that lists the software set to run persistently on your Mac.

KnockKnock is free and shows what is set to run persistently, but it only scans when you ask. Alternatives watch in real time, alert you when something new installs, or bundle full malware scanning with other protection.
