safe-space for macOS — Menubar App

Native macOS status bar app for safe-space — security monitoring for AI coding agents.

-> Main project (scanner, hook guard, full docs): github.com/Chill-AI-Space/safe-space

What it does

Sits in your menu bar and shows the security status of your machine at a glance:

• VB — always visible, clean and minimal
• Dot badge — appears when new findings are detected, clears when you open the menu
• Scan Now — runs the safe-space log scanner in the background with a checkbox picker (choose what to scan)
• Open Report — opens the interactive HTML report at localhost:7777
• Copy commands — click any terminal command to copy it (no scary AppleScript permissions)

Install

Option A — One-liner (easiest)

pkill -x VibeSec 2>/dev/null; curl -sL $(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/Chill-AI-Space/safe-space-macos/releases/latest | grep -m1 browser_download_url | cut -d'"' -f4) -o /tmp/VibeSec.zip && unzip -oq /tmp/VibeSec.zip -d /Applications && xattr -cr /Applications/VibeSec.app && open /Applications/VibeSec.app

Option B — Manual download

1. Download VibeSec-x.x.x.zip from Releases
2. Unzip -> drag VibeSec.app to /Applications
3. Run in Terminal (macOS blocks unsigned apps without this):

xattr -cr /Applications/VibeSec.app

4. Double-click to open

Option C — Homebrew

brew tap Chill-AI-Space/tap
brew install --cask safe-space-macos

Option D — Build from source

git clone https://github.com/Chill-AI-Space/safe-space-macos
cd safe-space-macos
swift build -c release
open .build/release/VibeSec

Requirements

• macOS 13+
• safe-space installed: npx safe-space setup

Privacy

On first scan, the app shows exactly what it will read — with checkboxes to skip anything you don't want:

• Claude Code session logs (~/.claude/)
• Shell history (~/.zsh_history)
• Git repos in ~/Documents/GitHub/ (looks for .env files)
• Downloads folder (API key files, service account JSON)
• clawdbot config (~/.clawdbot/)
• Safari/Chrome history (visited cloud & financial services)
• System checks (open ports, firewall, screen lock)

Nothing leaves your machine. Full source: github.com/Chill-AI-Space/safe-space
