bgviewer is a menu-bar kill-switch for macOS background services — see everything running behind your Mac and stop, pause, restart, or disable it, including the KeepAlive agents that respawn when killed.

New in 1.8.0 — self-update 🔄

This is the last release you'll ever need to install by hand:

  • The green update button now updates the app in place: downloads the new release, verifies its SHA-256 against the release's checksums.txt and its code signature, swaps the bundle with automatic rollback on failure, and relaunches.
  • Auto-update toggle in ⚙ Settings — flip it on and future releases install themselves when the periodic check finds one.
  • Self-update only touches real installs (/Applications or ~/Applications); updates download exclusively from this repo's Releases. No telemetry, ever.

Install (one last time by hand)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AroraShreshth/bgviewer/main/install.sh | bash

Or download bgviewer-1.8.0.zip below, drag to /Applications, then xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/bgviewer.app (not notarized yet) or approve via System Settings → Privacy & Security.
