AI Analysis

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.

A native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of Micro Snitch has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. Anyone still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta should update to the latest version to enjoy native performance on M-series Macs. You can download the current build directly from the developer's website at obdev.at, or check for updates within the app itself (Help → Check for Updates). The migration is straightforward—your existing settings and access history will be preserved.
