Overview
A clear overview of domain classifications and the certificates behind inspection signals.
Domains
Find an observed domain, review its certificate, and follow the context behind a connection.
Certificates
Browse certificate clusters, their fingerprints, and the domains where they appear.
Product illustrations based on the current app. Names and values are examples. Independent probes do not establish which certificate another app received.
Private by architecture.
Your network observations belong on your Mac. No central analysis service. No account to create.
- Observations stored locally
- Independent public certificate baseline
- Pause monitoring whenever you want
Probes connect to discovered hosts. Some metadata and logs are not encrypted.

A few things worth knowing.
Straight answers, from the project itself.
What does SWG bar actually detect?
It compares native macOS trust with an independent public certificate baseline to surface TLS inspection signals. Classification depends on collected evidence and rules. A repeated certificate authority alone is not proof of inspection.
Does it intercept or decrypt my traffic?
No. SWG bar examines available connection metadata and certificates, and makes its own TLS probes. It is not a VPN, traffic blocker, or decryption proxy. A probe cannot prove which certificate another application received.
Which Macs are supported?
SWG bar is designed for macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon (M1 or later). Details for the next release will be shared when it is available.
How can I get SWG bar?
Leave your email below to receive availability, pricing, and product updates. The next release date and pricing have not been announced.
What data does the app use?
It reads macOS certificate trust, imports hostnames from accessible Chromium browser histories, and uses network metadata where permissions allow. Observations stay local; probes make outbound TLS connections. Some fields are encrypted, but metadata and logs are not fully encrypted.
Are there limits to the results?
Yes. Current classification is scoped to supported IPv4 HTTPS evidence. Missing handshakes, unavailable capture permissions, unsupported traffic, and other gaps may leave results unknown or excluded. Treat the app as an evidence tool, not a guarantee.
What happens when I upgrade?
The current application resets its local database, rules, encryption key, and archived logs when it detects a newer version. Back up ~/Library/Application Support/SWGBar/ and ~/Library/Logs/SWGBar/ before upgrading if you need existing records.
