What it does

What PermitPeek does

From the menu bar

PermitPeek compares an app’s code signing entitlements against a baseline you acknowledge, so you can review changes after an update. Choose an application with the system picker. PermitPeek reads its static signing information without running it. Rescan compares entitlement keys and values, the app version, and the signing team against your baseline.

  • Working with PermitPeekOpen the inbox with Shift Command P. Settings offer another shortcut and a menu bar fallback if registration fails. Try Sample uses fictional CanvasKit and QuietNotes apps to show changed declarations and an unreadable signature. Sample watches are separate from your live watches.
