AntiSpy 2 Brings More Transparency and Control to Windows PCs and Macs
New Version of System and Privacy Software from Engelmann Software Supports Windows, Windows on ARM, and macOS
Dortmund, July 27, 2026 – Operating systems are constantly evolving. At the same time, data protection, permissions, and system settings are becoming increasingly complex. Many options are spread across different menus and are difficult for users to find.
With AntiSpy 2, Engelmann Software GmbH releases a new version of its system and privacy software for Windows and macOS. The application bundles important privacy and system settings in one central location and helps users better understand their computer and configure it according to their personal needs.
Manage Privacy and System Settings Clearly
AntiSpy 2 combines numerous settings that are otherwise scattered across various areas of the operating system.
On Windows, these include options for telemetry, diagnostic data, advertising ID, search functions, location services, as well as current Windows features such as Microsoft Recall and Copilot, if supported by the respective system.
On macOS, AntiSpy 2 assists in managing permissions for camera, microphone, screen recording, files and folders, as well as other privacy-relevant system settings.
All changes are explained clearly and can be undone at any time.
More Insight into Your Own System
In addition to privacy settings, AntiSpy 2 offers numerous analysis and information functions.
For example, the software shows which applications are allowed to access the camera or microphone, which network connections are currently active, and which security-relevant system settings are enabled.
Depending on the operating system, platform-specific functions are also available, optimally utilizing the capabilities of Windows or macOS, respectively.
Local Processing Instead of Manufacturer Cloud
All analyses and settings are performed exclusively on your own computer.
No personal data is transmitted to Engelmann Software GmbH servers. Users retain control over their systems and data at all times.
One License for Windows and macOS
AntiSpy 2 supports Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows on ARM, as well as macOS on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.
One license can be flexibly used on Windows PCs and Macs. Depending on the operating system, different functions are available, each adapted to the capabilities of the platform.

“For us, data privacy primarily means transparency and freedom of choice,” says Pit Engelmann, CEO of Engelmann Software GmbH. “Many users want to decide for themselves which functions of their computer are active and which programs are allowed to access sensitive areas. AntiSpy 2 clearly summarizes the most important information and makes Windows and macOS more understandable.”
Availability
AntiSpy 2 will be available starting July 27, 2026.
