About:
UXProtect is a macOS security utility designed to safeguard user privacy by preventing unauthorized screen recording and camera access. It actively monitors and blocks suspicious processes attempting to capture your screen without consent. This tool provides an essential layer of defense against spyware and data exfiltration on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
Key Features:
  • Real-time monitoring of screen recording permissions
  • Instant alerts for unauthorized capture attempts
  • Lightweight background operation
  • Manual override and whitelist capabilities
Use Cases:
  • Preventing spyware from silently recording your desktop
  • Adding a layer of consent for camera and screen access
  • Auditing which applications are requesting screen capture
Alternatives:
  • OverSight – OverSight is a free, open-source alternative that offers similar monitoring for audio and video, whereas UXProtect provides a more modern commercial interface.
  • Little Snitch – Little Snitch focuses on network traffic filtering rather than specifically targeting local screen recording and camera access.
