About:
Precize is a utility that retrieves and displays detailed metadata and code signing information for files, application bundles, and folders on macOS. It provides deep insight into file attributes, extended attributes, and security certificates, going far beyond the standard Finder 'Get Info' panel. This tool is essential for developers and power users needing to verify application integrity or troubleshoot file-related issues.

Key Features:

Displays comprehensive file metadata and extended attributes
Analyzes code signing certificates and requirements
Inspects app bundles, plugins, and frameworks
Provides detailed security and quarantine information

Use Cases:

Verifying the authenticity and developer identity of downloaded applications
Troubleshooting app launch issues related to code signing or permissions
Inspecting hidden metadata and extended attributes on system files

Alternatives:

codesign – Precize provides a graphical interface and aggregates more metadata than the command-line `codesign` tool.
Path Finder – A full file manager replacement that includes detailed inspectors, whereas Precize is a focused, standalone utility.
