Revok

Revok is a tool that scans your Mac's installed apps for critical metadata, which you can review for auditing, security purposes, or just out of curiosity. The following is just some of what Revok can tell you about:

• Date of app creation
• App version number
• The number of times an app was launched
• Whether it came from the Mac App Store
• If it's an iOS or Catalyst app
• The app’s vendor or publisher (when known)
• CPU architecture type: Universal (Apple Silicon + Intel), Apple Silicon–only, or Intel-only
• If an app is signed (important for non-App Store apps)
• If an app is notarized and/or sandboxed (important for non-App Store distributed apps)
• Whether an app is a menu bar, desktop, or background (each behaves differently)
• If an app uses Finder Extensions (these can change how the Finder works)
• If an app uses Driver Extensions (these could slightly slow down your Mac if there are many of them)
• If an app contained embedded login helpers
• If an app provides AppleScript support (for automation)
• If it asks for access to your camera, microphone, or location services
• If there are LaunchAgents associated with the app (useful for security)
• The minimum macOS version required
• If it's a native, Electron / Embedded Chromium, Qt, Java, Python, or Flutter-based app (non-native apps may use non-standard UI controls and/or have performance and memory issues)
• Display the App Store description (if available)
• If it uses the Paddle, Sentry (sentry.io) or Firebase (these could send telemetry to third-party servers without you knowing)
• Scan all files, selected files, or individual files
• Revok's UI is localized in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Italian
• And more...
