Running on macOS Using a Non Privileged Account

While not as secure as using Docker or Apple Containers, I often set up a new account on my Mac without admin privileges and no access to my iCloud account (so sensitive financial or medical data in, for example, ~/Documents is not accessible).

I consider this partial security, and I use it when experimenting with Hermes Agent, little-coder, etc.

If you want tighter security, use the next chapter on Apple Containers.

Dear reader, decide for yourself how secure you want your use of agentic coding to be.
