Note: Micro Snitch was tested with as many different Mac computers and audio/video devices as we could get our hands on. Every status change is logged to a file, so you can review it later to find suspicious activities.

Logging - Never miss any microphone or camera activity, even in your absence.Overlay - An on-screen overlay is shown while the microphone or camera is turned on to make sure you won’t miss it even if the menu bar isn’t currently visible.The menu also shows a list of connected audio/video devices. Menu Bar Icon - Any current microphone or camera activity is displayed in the menu bar.

With Micro Snitch you always know whether some app is currently using your microphone and its logging facilities allow you to reveal any suspicious activities later on. It monitors and reports any microphone and camera activity to help you figure out if someone’s spying on you.įair enough, you might see the camera’s indicator light, but what if you are away from your computer? And for the microphone, there is no activity indication at all, so you won’t notice if the microphone is turned on even if you’re sitting right in front of your Mac. This ultra-light menu-bar application operates inconspicuously in the background. With Micro Snitch (was NOYB) there’s no doubt whether an application records audio through your Mac’s built-in microphone or if the camera captures video.
