AN ILLUSTRATIVE WEEK
5 logins × 30 seconds 2½ minutes back.
If filling saves you 30 seconds per login, five logins a week add up to about two hours a year.
An example, not a measured result. Your savings depend on how often you use guest Wi-Fi and what each portal requires.

A café needs to get you online. It doesn’t always need the real you. Private Mode creates a plausible, locale-aware identity for unfamiliar portals.
- Ephemeral web sessions
- No portal history saved
- Manual steps stay in your hands
Private Mode fills forms. It’s not a VPN.
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Will it work with every Wi-Fi portal?
ELWifi recognizes common login fields and consent controls, but portals vary. CAPTCHAs, payment screens, verification codes, and unusual steps still need your attention. It helps with sign-in; it doesn’t bypass network access requirements.
Is Private Mode a VPN?
No. Private Mode generates an identity for portal form fields. It doesn’t encrypt your internet traffic, hide your IP address, or make a public network secure. Use a trusted VPN if you need that protection.
What do I need to run ELWifi?
An Apple silicon Mac running macOS 14 or later. Download the 2.5 MB disk image, open it, drag ELWifi into Applications, then launch the app. You’ll find it in your menu bar.
Why might macOS show a warning?
This preview build is not notarized. If macOS blocks launch, try right-clicking ELWifi in Applications and choosing Open. On newer macOS versions, you may need to allow it in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Only open software you trust.
Is the preview above the actual app?
It’s an interactive illustration of the workflow, not a live version of the macOS app. The example names and email addresses are fictional. Nothing is submitted to a network, and the demo doesn’t read or change your Wi-Fi settings.
Less logging in.
More living.
Your next coffee comes with enough decisions.
The Wi-Fi form
doesn’t need to be one.
