xVigil 0.1.0 (beta)

xVigil 0.1.0 (beta)

First public beta of xVigil — a menu bar app that surfaces what macOS's
built-in protections (XProtect, Gatekeeper, quarantine) are quietly doing.

Features

• Menu bar summary: Gatekeeper status, XProtect definition & Remediator
  versions, recent quarantine events at a glance
• Dashboard: browse, search, and filter every quarantine event on your
  Mac, with full event details
• Drill-down: locates the on-disk file for an event (via its quarantine
  xattr), shows today's Gatekeeper verdict and code-signature chain, plus
  unified-log context around the event
• XProtect activity: raw log noise clustered into readable scan runs

Installing

Unzip and drag xVigil.app to Applications. This beta is ad-hoc signed, so
right-click → Open on first launch (the Gatekeeper-visibility app makes
you talk to Gatekeeper — consider it a live demo).

Requires macOS 15 or later. Universal binary (Apple Silicon + Intel).

Known limitations

• Unified-log queries for long windows can take a minute (progress is shown)
• File location only succeeds for recent events — macOS purges old quarantine
  DB rows and deletes downloads; "file not found" is normal
• No notifications yet; refresh is manual or on-open
