Veil

One-click privacy control for people who do not trust invisible agents.

Veil is a macOS menu bar utility that shows you which apps have surveillance-capable permissions and lets you shut them down with one click — then bring them all back when you're done.

How Veil works

The product is intentionally narrow: inspect local permissions, close risky apps quickly, and reopen them when you are done.

1

Scan local permissions

Veil reads the local macOS permission database so you can see which apps have sensitive access.

2

Activate Privacy Mode

Close surveillance-capable apps in one step while respecting your allowlist.

3

Restore when finished

Deactivate and let the app reopen the tools it closed for your session.
