Compatibility

Bouncer supports macOS and Linux. Bouncer audits Node.js and Python packages from the npm and PyPI registries and intercepts (allows / warns / blocks) requests from npm, yarn, pnpm, bun, pip, uv, and poetry. It works out of the box with bash, zsh, and fish. See full compatibility details.
