HostsMan

HostsMan is a nifty tool that helps you manage your hosts file, which stores all the info about the sites you visit. Now, editing this file isn’t exactly a walk in the park—it usually requires some tech know-how. But with HostsMan, things get a whole lot simpler and safer because it comes with some cool features.

Easy Setup Process

The setup for HostsMan is a breeze! You just need to click a few buttons, and it’s all set up on your system. The interface looks pretty standard, with most of the features sitting nicely in an upper toolbar.

Admin Privileges Made Simple

Edit your hosts file without any hassle! There’s an integrated button that lets you give admin rights to the app so you can make changes easily. It’s super handy!

Update Sources at Your Fingertips

You can also access a list of update sources and even add your own entries for better accessibility. Plus, updates can happen automatically! You’ll see a status indicator showing when the last check was made and if the update was successful.

User-Friendly Viewing Options

You can view your hosts file using either a text editor or within HostsMan itself. If you choose the app's built-in feature, it opens up another window where you can block websites that might be unsafe or have inappropriate content.

This app has integrated tools that help you check for errors and find duplicates in your hosts file. Managing an exclusion list is also possible—you can even swap out your IP for a custom entry!

Backup Manager for Safety

Your safety comes first! HostsMan includes a backup manager that we highly recommend using before making any changes. It brings up an intuitive window where you can preview files to make sure you're selecting the right one.
