Security Bite: This app tells you if your Mac’s webcam or mic was triggered while you were away

Objective-See’s free OverSight app alerts Mac users whenever the webcam or microphone turns on.

The app logs the responsible process, making it easier to review activity after being away from the computer.

It can help spot covert camera or mic access, including malware-triggered or piggybacking behavior.

The feature adds a useful privacy and security layer beyond macOS’s built-in indicators.
