Trust Delta

Publisher description

Current runtime: this plugin runs unsandboxed with MacCrab's access. Any sandbox wording in the publisher's signed description below reflects an earlier design. The access disclosure on this page describes the current execution path.

Compare two selected app bundles with the same bundle identifier. Review added Mach-O components, whole-file executable SHA-256 changes and native-architecture signing metadata, including declared team and assessed security settings. Grouped changes distinguish routine executable-byte changes from identity, configuration and component changes that need review.

Choose previous and current apps within the current home in MacCrab 1.22.3. Encrypted review storage preserves both sides, coverage and operator decisions tied to the retained observations. The inspected binaries are never executed. Missing selection means no scan; unreadable files, symlinks and limits remain gaps.

Signing metadata is not signature-validity or notarization verification. This does not assess every architecture's signing state, whole-bundle equivalence, interpreted resources or runtime access. Imported review facts and operator identities are unverified; a recorded decision is not a signed software approval or a malware verdict. First-party plugins inherit host access; manifest capabilities are declarations, not an independent OS sandbox.

What it reads

Publisher-declared sources for this catalog entry. This list describes intended collection; it does not confine an unsandboxed plugin's file access. The published app's install screen may show older static descriptions rather than the publisher declarations shown here.

• Explicitly selected current-user app bundles

Access and output privacy

Declared privacy requirements and the current execution path. Output classification describes what the plugin emits; it is separate from the files its process can read.

• Declared macOS access No privacy services listed
• Declared output Content data — requires an encrypted scan
• Runtime Trusted, unsandboxed process. MacCrab validates its Developer ID signature before execution. It inherits the host's privileges, including available Full Disk Access.
• Network The first-party execution path does not enforce an outbound-network block. A publisher's declaration of no network use is a behavior claim.

Verification for v0.2.0

Release checks recorded on 2026-09-28. These are the catalog's records for this version; this page does not perform a new independent build or collection test.

Source rebuild not applicable: this first-party entry does not publish a source repository for independent rebuilding. You can verify the publisher signature and pinned artifact digests against trusted keys. A recorded maintainer rebuild check does not provide independent source verification.

Revocation status comes from the signature-verified revocation list (serial 2), issued 2026-07-26. The website checks it during its build; MacCrab checks its own verified list when installing. The issue date does not describe the client's last successful fetch.

No revocation for v0.2.0 is recorded in that list.

Verify the signatures, artifact digests, and revocation list yourself.

Versions

Historical vetting is retained even when a release is revoked. “Current” identifies the version selected by the catalog.
