See what's watching. Take control.
Veil scans your Mac's permission database and shows every app with access to your screen, camera, microphone, and keystrokes.
Your Mac. Your permissions. Your call.
What Veil does
Permission Dashboard
See every app with screen, camera, mic, or keyboard access in one view.
One-Click Privacy Mode
Pause all surveillance-capable apps instantly. Restore when ready.
Allowlist
Keep trusted apps running during Privacy Mode — your password manager stays open.
Crash Recovery
If Veil crashes mid-session, apps restore automatically on next launch.
Keyboard Shortcut
Toggle Privacy Mode with ⌘⇧P — customizable with Pro.
No Telemetry
Reads your Mac's permission database locally. Network only for licenses and updates.
How it works
