Download from the site or App Store
Pivot VPN for macOS is available two ways. First — DMG from our site: download, drag the app to Applications, launch. Gatekeeper accepts it without warnings — the DMG is signed with Apple Developer ID and notarized. Second — Mac App Store: only Apple-vetted builds end up there. Functionality is identical; pick what's convenient.
Why both sources are safe
Mac App Store is Apple's strictest channel and getting in requires passing review. Notarized DMG from our site passes a comparable check — Apple scans it for malicious code before issuing the notarization ticket. Third-party "torrent builds" of Pivot VPN don't exist and shouldn't exist: if you see one, don't trust it.
Apple Silicon and battery
On M1/M2/M3, WireGuard encryption uses the built-in AES and ChaCha20 hardware accelerators — meaning the tunnel pushes gigabits without noticeable CPU load or battery drain. On Intel Macs performance is also strong, but background usage is slightly higher due to software encryption. In both cases, the difference between "with VPN" and "without VPN" is unnoticeable in everyday use.
Menu bar manager
Pivot VPN lives in the macOS top bar — a status icon shows current tunnel state (connected/disconnected) and server country. One click opens a dropdown with quick server switching, kill switch and settings. No need to hunt for the app in the Dock — controls always at hand.
