How to disable MacOS X helper tool? Every now and then some apps asks to auto update using the built in helper tool. I am so tired of it. They ask for privileged access.
Is there a way where I can disable that for all apps? May disabling this helper tool? I want to upgrade my apps manually.
In some apps (like in the one in the picture) I cannot disable auto update feature. It's a dark pattern, there is no option for that!

If not, I will need to uninstall those awful apps.
No, there's no way to disable that one place for all apps.
Contrary to what you might think, it is not the case of one macOS helper tool. Instead it is each of these apps that comes with its own helper tool - different from the helper tools of other apps.
Some apps will function even when you remove their helper tool - some will not. But it will have to be done individually.
