Phorion Kronos is a macOS security tool designed to enhance Apple's Transparency Consent and Control (TCC) security and privacy mechanism. By monitoring Apple log data, Kronos aims to increase transparency into TCC prompt requests, as well as TCC resource usage. Kronos also provides users with the ability to revoke TCC permissions after a given time period.
This tool is designed to enhance, not replace the TCC mechanism. We hope to continue developing the tool and it's feature set, if you have ideas make sure to open up a PR or an issue!
