Your Mac runs dozens of programs at startup. Some are updaters you installed. Some are spyware. Shadow Sentinel finds them all — and tells you, in plain English, which is which.
Traditional tools match known malware signatures and shrug at everything else — leaving you with a wall of technical entries and no idea which matter. Shadow Sentinel adds a security analyst that reads each one and explains it.
Technically accurate. Completely unhelpful. Is it dangerous, or is it the printer driver you installed last year?
This startup item runs a script that downloads and executes code from a remote server every time you log in. Legitimate software never does this. Recommended: quarantine.
Real-time monitoring backed by signature matching, code-signature verification, and AI judgment for everything in between.
Inspects every LaunchAgent and LaunchDaemon — where Mac malware hides to survive reboots — against a database of known families.
Watches those folders in real time. The moment anything installs itself at startup, you're notified — with an explanation of what it is.
Reviews the items rules can't judge and gives a verdict in plain English: benign, suspicious, or malicious — with reasoning.
Flags running processes with malware tells: executing from temp folders, hidden directories, or unsigned binaries in odd places.
Audits extensions across Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc, Firefox and Safari, and detects hijacked homepage and search settings.
Verifies macOS's own defenses — SIP, Gatekeeper, FileVault, firewall, XProtect — and explains how to fix anything that's off.
Everything Shadow Sentinel removes goes to the Trash. Nothing is ever permanently deleted, so you can always undo it.
Finds what each app has quietly accumulated, sized and sorted, so you choose what goes.
Support files, preferences and caches from apps you deleted months ago — still sitting there taking up space.
Files over 100 MB and hash-verified duplicate copies across your Downloads, Documents, Desktop and media folders.
Drag in any app and it finds everything that app owns across a dozen system locations — then removes all of it at once.
Every detection and cleanup feature works without paying anything. The subscription adds the AI analyst.
Payments are handled by Lemon Squeezy, our authorized reseller.
