Comment (by ioerror):

 Sandboxing on OSX is probably the easiest.

 I think that we should consider using Arturo's BuckleUp for OS X
 sandboxing:

   https://github.com/hellais/Buckle-Up

 We should also consider the designs of Chrome:

   https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/sandbox/osx-
 sandboxing-design

 We may also want to look at the profiles of other programs:

 I think while this isn't exactly sandboxing, we should also put our app in
 the OS X App store. Distribution and updating is a security issue of the
 highest order - lets make sure the app is not only sandboxed but also
 signed, available without the appstore and in the appstore as well.
