These are the risks content creators face every day.
Premiere plugins, Photoshop brushes, LUTs, fonts — creators download from dozens of sources. CoreLock checks files in your Downloads folder against a built-in list of known-malware hashes and its own malware-signature (YARA) rules.
A compromised machine means compromised accounts. CoreLock's scan flags known-bad tools and risky command lines among running apps, but it cannot guarantee it will catch every stealer.
Your camera and microphone are your tools. CoreLock shows you every app that has access so you can review each permission.
CoreLock is not a generic antivirus. These are the capabilities that make a real difference for your work.
CoreLock checks the plugins, asset packs and fonts in your Downloads folder against a built-in list of known-malware hashes and its own malware-signature (YARA) rules. Files › Quick scan adds Desktop and LaunchAgents.
See exactly which apps can access your camera and microphone. Then turn off access in System Settings for apps that should not have it.
CoreLock's scan flags known-bad tools, like crypto miners, and risky command lines among running apps. With Full Disk Access, the Privacy screen also shows which apps hold Screen Recording, the permission that lets an app record your screen.
Some findings offer Quit or Quarantine, after you confirm. Most open the right page of System Settings or Finder, so you can make the change and get back to creating.
Pro ($9.99/mo) is recommended for creators who regularly download third-party assets and plugins. The free tier covers basic daily scans if your workflow is lighter.
View All PlansKnow what is running on the Mac that holds patient work. CoreLock shows which apps can reach files, camera and microphone, and flags unsigned apps and risky processes.
Confidential case files, privileged communications, client data. CoreLock helps you see what is running on the Mac that holds client files.
Source confidentiality is non-negotiable. CoreLock shows which apps hold camera and microphone permissions, flags known-bad tools among running apps, and shows you what is running.
OpenClaw, Claude Code, and local AI agents have full system access — Terminal, files, network, and more. CoreLock recognizes supported AI agents and shows the files, connections and child processes they have open.
Your Mac holds wallet keys, seed phrases, and exchange sessions. Infostealers are designed to harvest it quickly. CoreLock checks for some of the footholds they rely on, like unsigned apps and unusual launch agents.
You run untrusted code, manage SSH keys, and juggle dozens of packages. CoreLock checks running apps, open ports and login items every 15 minutes by default.
CoreLock does not hook into your editing software. Scans use some CPU while they run, every 15 minutes by default. Between scans CoreLock watches its decoy files and whether the camera or microphone is in use, and every few minutes takes a quick look at what's running to learn what's normal for your Mac. We have not benchmarked its effect on render times.
CoreLock flags known-bad tools and risky command lines among running apps on your device. It is not a social media security tool, and it cannot guarantee it will catch every credential stealer.
Not directly. CoreLock checks your Downloads folder, and Files › Quick scan adds Desktop and LaunchAgents. Files that stay in a Google Drive or Dropbox folder aren't checked unless you move them into one of those folders.
CoreLock explains each finding in plain English and takes you to the right setting to fix it. It is built for people who want security without complexity. Install it and run a scan; the local checks need no account.
