Announcement

When we introduced Vigil, it was a behavioral system monitor — watch your processes, learn what normal looks like, flag what isn’t. That’s still the foundation. But over the last several builds, a question kept pulling the roadmap in one direction: what is the biggest new thing running on your Mac that you can’t see? The answer, for a growing number of people, is AI agents. Coding assistants with shell access. MCP servers with tool definitions you’ve never read. Scheduled tasks that run an agent at 3 AM with pre-approved permissions and no human watching. Build 14 is Vigil leaning hard into that answer. ...

We’re releasing Prism, a native macOS HTTP proxy that observes your network traffic and surfaces privacy concerns — trackers, fingerprinting, unencrypted data, and suspicious connection patterns — without decrypting your HTTPS traffic. The gap it fills Tapped shows you where your Mac is talking at the packet level. But it doesn’t interpret what it sees — it’s a visibility tool for people who already know what to look for. On the other end, browser extensions like uBlock Origin block ads in one browser but can’t see traffic from the dozens of other apps on your Mac. ...

We’re releasing Less is More, a native macOS app that makes your consumption visible. Drop your bills, receipts, and statements into it, and AI extracts every line item, amount, and consumption quantity. It tracks not just money but also electricity, gas, water, and waste — so you can see the full picture of what you use and what it costs. The problem it solves You probably have a rough sense of what you spend each month. But can you answer: how much electricity did you use last quarter compared to the one before? Is your water bill trending up? Are you still paying for that subscription you signed up for a year ago? Did your insurance premium increase at renewal? ...

Harden 1.1 is a major update — 93 security checks (up from 64), dual compliance framework support (DISA STIG + CIS Benchmarks), exportable compliance reports, and a headless agent mode for fleet-scale scanning. CIS Benchmark compliance Harden now maps checks against the CIS Apple macOS 15.0 Sequoia Benchmark v1.1.0, the most widely adopted security standard outside the U.S. Department of Defense. 72 CIS rules are covered alongside the existing 47 DISA STIG rules. The new Compliance tab lets you switch between STIG and CIS views, each showing your system’s status from the framework’s perspective — for every rule, are you compliant or not? ...

Triage 1.1 is out — and the source is now public. The app formerly known as Mail+ has a new name, a new icon, and three features we’ve been wanting since we started using it ourselves. What’s new Send + Follow Up (Cmd+Shift+S) — send a message and automatically create a 1-week follow-up reminder. Triage captures the subject and recipients before sending, then polls the Sent mailbox to include a message:// deep link so you can jump straight back to the conversation when the reminder fires. No more manually creating follow-up tasks after sending an important email. ...

Updated June 2026: Triage (formerly Mail+) is now open source with automatic updates, send-and-follow-up reminders with deep links, / to search, and a new icon. See the product page for full details and GitHub releases for the changelog. We’re releasing Triage, a native macOS menu bar app that adds power-user features to Apple Mail. It brings Gmail-style single-key keyboard shortcuts, one-keystroke sender and domain blocking, email-to-reminder conversion, and an account dashboard with activity history — all without replacing your email client. ...

We’re releasing Conscience, a Rust CLI that evaluates the ethical impact of AI-assisted software development. It examines your GitHub activity and AI tool logs, maps what it finds to a framework of ethical principles, and generates questions for your team to discuss. It’s a discernment tool — it surfaces patterns, but humans decide what they mean. The gap it fills AI coding tools track tokens, latency, and acceptance rates. Project managers track velocity and throughput. Nobody tracks whether AI is making your team’s work more human — whether developers are growing or being de-skilled, whether benefits are shared or concentrated, whether the environmental cost is proportionate to the value delivered. ...

Updated June 2026: Harden 1.1 is out with 93 checks (up from 52 at launch), dual DISA STIG + CIS Benchmark compliance, HTML/JSON/CSV compliance reports, headless agent mode with scheduled scanning, and 38 one-click fixes. See the product page for full details. We’re releasing Harden, a native macOS tool that audits your Mac’s security configuration against best-practice checks — including DISA STIG and CIS Benchmark controls — and helps you fix what it finds. No Terminal required. ...

We’re releasing Spektra, a native macOS spectrum analyzer that turns an inexpensive RTL-SDR USB dongle into a full-featured radio exploration tool. See, identify, and listen to signals from 24 MHz to 1.7 GHz. The gap it fills SDR software on the Mac has historically meant running GNURadio in a Linux VM, or using CubicSDR (which hasn’t been updated in years). Spektra is a native Swift/SwiftUI app that bridges directly to librtlsdr — no VMs, no Qt, no X11. Plug in a dongle and you’re looking at the spectrum. ...

We’re releasing Vigil, a native macOS system monitor that watches your processes and file activity, learns what “normal” looks like, and flags anything unusual. It’s a behavioral antivirus — it doesn’t block, it observes and reports. The gap it fills Activity Monitor tells you CPU percentage and memory usage. But it can’t tell you that a process is doing ten times its normal disk I/O, that an unknown process appeared with no executable path, or that an AI coding tool just touched files outside its expected scope. Vigil fills that gap with behavioral baselines and heuristic analysis. ...
