Apparency is one of those great niche Mac apps that's likely incredibly useful for a small subset of Mac developers and enthusiasts, and yet as it's feature-rich and well-made, might be of interest to a wider audience here.
Personally, I use it to Quick Look apps and other binary files quite often.
And, it's free and actively maintained!
Install it with Homebrew:
I think that’s a gem for developers and power users. Having all that app metadata a click away is very useful. Does it allow exporting reports for audits or debugging?
@roozbehfirouz hmm, I don't think it supports exports. What would be the use case?
@roozbehfirouz There's no export feature per se. However, the bundled CLI tool does provide a way to generate a plain text summary from the Terminal. I don't know if that suits what you're trying to do, though.
Apparency 3.0 is a very useful tool—getting detailed insights into any macOS app makes debugging and security checks much easier. Do you plan to add batch inspection or integration with developer tools?
This is super handy—I always end up digging through binary files and Quick Look hasn’t cut it for me. Can’t believe it’s free AND works with Homebrew!
I found this app a few weeks ago and it has been incredibly helpful! An amazing time saver!
Love the clean design and developer focus. Great work!
