Verity is a native macOS app that watches the places installers touch: shell startup files, SSH, LaunchAgents and executable folders. Every change comes with a severity score, the reasons behind it, the possible process chain, and an encrypted history you can bring back. Optional Protect asks before selected new or changed executables run: Block, Allow Once, or Always Trust. Local-first, no telemetry. macOS 15+, signed and notarized. 7-day free trial.

Could you build this?

No It requires low-level macOS system programming, FSEvents/EndpointSecurity framework integration for execution blocking, and deep OS security domain knowledge.

What it would actually take: Building Verity requires a native Swift/Objective-C codebase integrating with Apple's EndpointSecurity API (requiring special entitlements granted directly by Apple) to intercept and block process execution in real time. It also relies on FSEvents or kqueues to monitor filesystem changes across sensitive system directories, parsing LaunchAgent plists, and securely managing an AES-256 encrypted repository in the macOS Keychain. This demands deep specialized expertise in macOS system internals, low-level security auditing, and Apple developer program entitlements.
