Release Preflight is a Mac app that checks folders, ZIPs, macOS apps, and Xcode archives before you ship. It flags possible exposed secrets, sensitive files, and debug settings, and helps you review Apple entitlements. Export findings as HTML or JSON. Scans run on your Mac, with optional OSV lookups for known advisories for exact versions of supported dependencies. Requires macOS 14 or later.

Could you build this?

Yes Pattern-based secret scanning, sensitive-file detection, and report export are well-documented techniques, and OSV is a public API, so a Mac app is mostly scripting and UI.
