These are the risks developers face every day — and the ones most security tools ignore.
Every install is a gamble. Supply-chain attacks hide in dependencies you never audited. CoreLock flags suspicious package behavior before it escalates.
Your laptop holds the keys to production. One compromised app and your credentials are exfiltrated. CoreLock monitors which processes access sensitive files.
IDEs, Docker, terminal emulators — they all want camera, mic, and full disk access. CoreLock audits every permission so you know exactly what each tool can reach.
Cloning repos and building locally is part of the job. CoreLock detects anomalous process spawning and network connections from freshly compiled binaries.
CoreLock is not a generic antivirus. These are the capabilities that make a real difference for your work.
AI-powered monitoring of every running process. Get alerted when a new binary makes unexpected network calls or accesses sensitive directories.
See exactly which apps have camera, microphone, screen recording, and full disk access — including those sneaky Electron apps.
Instantly verify if binaries are properly signed by Apple or their developers. Spot tampered executables before they run.
Track every outbound connection from your machine. Know if a rogue process is phoning home to an unknown server.
Found a threat? Fix it in one click. Revoke permissions, quarantine files, or kill processes without touching the terminal.
Most developers choose the Pro plan ($4.99/mo) for unlimited scans and real-time monitoring. The free tier (3 scans/day) is a solid way to start.

Your Mac is your studio. Videos, designs, music — years of work in one place. CoreLock keeps your creative assets and accounts safe from threats.
No. CoreLock monitors at the OS level, not the filesystem level. It watches process behavior and network connections without hooking into your build toolchain. Developers report zero measurable impact on compile times.
Yes. CoreLock uses behavioral analysis to flag when newly installed packages attempt suspicious actions — like reading SSH keys, accessing the keychain, or making unexpected network connections. This catches threats that static scanners miss.
CoreLock monitors your host macOS system. It will detect if Docker or a VM process makes unusual network connections or requests elevated permissions. It does not scan inside containers or VMs, which keeps its footprint minimal.
No. CoreLock processes everything locally on your machine. Scan results, process data, and permission audits never leave your device. This is a hard requirement for any developer tool, and we take it seriously.
