Aloha
Aloha is a privacy-focused web browser for macOS that combines web browsing with ad blocking, downloads, and built-in VPN tools.
What is Aloha?
Aloha is a macOS web browser designed for people who want everyday browsing tools with extra privacy controls in one app. It helps users browse the web, manage downloads, block ads and trackers, and use integrated VPN features without installing separate browser add-ons for those core tasks. Common use cases include general web browsing, opening media-heavy sites with fewer distractions, saving files from the web, and using a private browsing setup on public or shared networks. The browser also includes desktop features such as Split View support and macOS video downloading tools, making it useful for users who want a browser that doubles as a lightweight privacy and download utility. Aloha is published by Aloha Mobile Ltd. and is also available on other platforms.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Aloha is a legitimate web browser, and network privacy features such as ad blocking and VPN access are normal for its purpose. Because it handles web traffic, downloads, and browsing data, it may store history, cookies, cached files, and downloaded content on your Mac. If you use its VPN or private browsing features, review the app's privacy settings and keep the browser updated so you benefit from current security fixes.
Recommendation: Keep Aloha if you use it for browsing, downloads, or its privacy tools. Remove it only if you no longer want it as a browser or no longer need its built-in VPN and ad-blocking features; doing so may also remove saved browser data that is stored locally in the app.
