Micro Snitch
Universal version latest seen at v1.6.1 · Reported by 1 Mac in the community.
Micro Snitch is a privacy and security utility for macOS that monitors and alerts users whenever an application attempts to access the microphone or camera. The app sits in the menu bar and logs all access attempts with detailed information including which app tried to access, when, and for how long. It provides granular controls to allow or block microphone and camera use per application, and maintains a historical log of all access events. Users—particularly those concerned about privacy and potential unauthorized surveillance by malware or legitimate apps—rely on Micro Snitch to maintain visibility and control over their most sensitive hardware inputs.

The migration is straightforward—your existing settings and access history will be preserved.
