Apparency - The App that Open Apps

For technically inclined Mac aficionados, Apparency by Mothers Ruin Software is an app that also serves as a plugin for the macOS QuickLook feature. After installing Apparency, you can select an app in the Finder, press the spacebar and get a variety of information in the resulting window. You can take it one step further and choose to open the app in Apparency to answer even more questions including:

• What did Gatekeeper say?
• Was it notarized?
• Is App Sandbox enabled?
• Inspect the code signature
• Browse entitlements
• Browse the Info.plist
• Find the executable
• See macOS version info
• Inspect linked frameworks
• See identifiers and versions
• Browse “components” inside
• See document types and URLs

Apparency is a free app and currently supports Intel and Apple silicon processors on Mac OS versions 12, 13 and 14. Download here
