About This App

OverSight is a free, open-source monitoring tool from Objective-See that helps macOS users detect when their Mac's camera or microphone is being accessed. It runs in the menu bar and alerts the user whenever an application attempts to use these hardware resources, showing which app tried to access them and for how long. It is used by privacy-conscious individuals, journalists, security researchers and anyone concerned about unauthorised surveillance of their system.

OverSight_Installer is a bundled helper application — it is not the main OverSight monitoring tool itself, but rather the installation and updater component that ships with OverSight. The search results show the installer is currently Intel-only (x86-64 architecture), built in 2017 and not yet updated to a native Apple Silicon build. Rather than updating the installer separately, you should check Objective-See's website for the latest version of OverSight itself, which may include a newer native installer. If OverSight remains Intel-only by macOS 28 (September 2028), the installer will stop working and you will be unable to update or reinstall the app. Contact Objective-See directly to confirm their plans for an Apple Silicon native build before the Rosetta 2 removal deadline.
