See every agent
A live list of the AI agents on your Mac, forgotten ones included, and where in the world their connections go.
Catch agents going for secrets
Flags an agent that opens your cloud keys, tokens or other sensitive files, or tries to send a secret off your Mac. Switch a channel to Block to stop terminal agents reading them.
Replay any session
Step through a recent agent session: what happened and what left your Mac. History stays on your Mac for 30 days.
What you need, and what leaves your Mac
What you need
- An Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer). To check: Apple menu → About This Mac; the Chip line starts with Apple M.
- macOS 13 Ventura or later
- An admin account, to approve the macOS prompts during setup
What leaves your Mac
Not sent to us: the contents of your source files, or of what your agents send and receive.
Sent to us, linked to your Argus account email: app health signals, usage counts, and a log of what your agents did (for example, whether an action was allowed or blocked).
The full list, how long we keep it, and how to have it deleted: Argus community privacy notice.

Install in four steps
Install
Open the .dmg and drag Argus into Applications.
Open it from Applications
Launch Argus from Applications, not the disk image. When macOS asks about an app downloaded from the internet, click Open.
Follow the setup
Pick the agents you want watched, then click Turn on and approve the two macOS prompts. Restart your Mac if Argus asks you to.
If macOS shows Background Items Added, that's Argus.
Optional: turn on file & command capture to see what terminal agents read and run. To stop them reading secrets, switch a channel to Block.
Reopen your AI tools
Quit and reopen any agent that was already running, such as Claude or Cursor.
To see what agents send: turn on Look inside what your agents send in Settings → Privacy & Permissions, then reopen your agents.
