A zero-footprint, lightweight web portal designed to instantly bypass strict website limits, Downtime overlays, and blocked 127.0.0.1 / localhost routing on macOS 15 Version 27.0 Beta.
This tool works entirely via native Safari file-layer processing. No sudo, no admin privileges, and no configuration changes required.
In the recent macOS Golden Gate Beta (Version 27.0), Screen Time content filtering aggressively hooks into outbound network layers, frequently breaking local development workflows by blocking localhost and 127.0.0.1 web addresses under blanket restriction rules.
Because system-level daemons block these network requests before they even load, standard browser tabs display a persistent "Time Limit" block.
This repository takes advantage of a native architecture gap in macOS: while Screen Time monitors outbound network layers (http://, https://), it completely ignores local system file protocols (file:///). By rendering target sites inside a localized, offline environment, web traffic slides entirely under the filter's radar.
- 🛡️ Zero Footprint: Runs entirely in Safari's temporary memory via a local file—leaves no permanent configuration changes or file trails for anyone to find.
- 🛠️ Localhost Unblocker: Instantly restores access to your local development servers (like port
3000,5500,8080) when127.0.0.1is completely restricted. - 🌐 Built-in Navigation Bar: Includes a clean, dark-themed address input bar at the top of the viewport to dynamically load URLs inside a sandboxed viewport without spawning filtered tabs.
- 🚫 No Root Required: Perfect for developer setups where administrative or terminal
sudoaccess is completely restricted.
Save the following source code into a file named index.html anywhere on your Mac:
git clone https://github.com/Iccrtlity/ScreenTimeBypass-MacOS/
Open Safari and press ⌘ + O, after that a Finder window should open up. Next select index.html and press enter.
Now use the navbar to go to websites and enjoy :3
It would mean much to me if y'all would leave a star or/and a follow :D
