Sensitive work. Deliberate app control.

Review app capabilities, recorded macOS permissions, and running state in one place. Choose a plan for what should close during a Sensitive Session.

Your Mac. Your permissions. Your call.

Seven-day full Pro trial · No app account needed · One download for Free and Pro

macOS 13+ · Universal Binary (Intel + Apple Silicon)

1

Scan

Veil reads available local permission records for capabilities such as screen recording, input monitoring, and accessibility. Unavailable evidence stays unknown.

2

See

See capabilities, permission grants, and running state separately. Veil does not inspect network traffic or determine whether an app is actively observing you.

3

Control

Review the plan, then close apps under your saved policies. Veil reports verified results and anything that needs you. End & Restore reopens eligible apps, not their documents.

>

Permission dashboard

Review sensitive capabilities, recorded grants, and running state without treating them as proof of surveillance.

>

Sensitive Sessions

Review a plan before closing apps. See what was verified, left open, or not controlled.

>

Saved app policies

Choose which apps Veil may close and which must stay open. Force closing requires an explicit policy.

>

Interrupted-session recovery

Review recovery choices after an interruption. Reopening an app does not restore unsaved work or guarantee document recovery.

>

Keyboard shortcut

Use ⌘⇧P for Sensitive Sessions when entitled — customizable during the full trial and with Pro.

>

No telemetry

Local diagnostics stay on your Mac until you copy or export them. Licensing and configured update checks use separate networking.

A seven-day full Pro trial starts with your first successfully Veiled session. One-time purchase. Use on up to 3 Macs.
