About

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.

AI Summary

Verity is a macOS app that monitors critical system files for changes, providing a severity score and detailed history of modifications. It features an optional protection mode that prompts users before executing new or altered files, ensuring enhanced security for macOS 15 and above.

Editorial read

Scored deterministically. Only candidates that fire a story trigger are sent to a model, so this one has no written angle.

ThinLittle evidence and no strong angle. Nothing to build on yet.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
