Verify it yourself

01

Apple checked this exact build

Organice is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized. Apple’s automated notary service scans the submitted software for malicious components and code-signing problems. Its ticket is stapled to both the disk image and app, so Gatekeeper can verify it even when your Mac is offline.

Notarization is not App Review, and it is not an eternal guarantee. It is Apple’s check for known malicious content, developer identity, and tampering.Read Apple’s explanation.

# should report: source=Notarized Developer ID
spctl -a -vv -t install ~/Downloads/Organice-0.1.0.dmg

# should report: The validate action worked!
xcrun stapler validate ~/Downloads/Organice-0.1.0.dmg

02

Confirm that your download is ours

A SHA-256 checksum identifies the exact bytes we published. If your result differs from this value, do not open the file.

shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Organice-0.1.0.dmg

67db381da7ff5fa871b28940a18e1a8688016919f11cc0af555be0df1561db7c

After installation, confirm the app is signed by Team ID H5N78N3RK2 and that every nested binary still verifies:

codesign -dv --verbose=2 /Applications/Organice.app
codesign --verify --deep --strict /Applications/Organice.app

03

Inspect what it asks from macOS

The main app requests no entitlements. The Finder extension is sandboxed and limited to files you select. The release check found no network, camera, microphone, contacts, location, or full-disk entitlement.

codesign -d --entitlements - /Applications/Organice.app
codesign -d --entitlements - \
  /Applications/Organice.app/Contents/PlugIns/OrganiceFinder.appex

04

Watch the network yourself

Our release test ran Organize, Undo, receipt tally, and diagnostics while watching their sockets. It found zero outbound connections. The build also contains no analytics, crash-reporting, or automatic-update SDK.

Base does not call home for activation, updates, analytics, or licensing. Optional Pro assistance for Summarize, Rename by content, filename suggestions, and Organize connects only to a model endpoint you configure. Summarize and Rename by content ask for first-use consent. AI-assisted Organize is off by default. A local model stays local, with no cloud fallback.

# leave this running while you use Organice
nettop -p Organice

For another independent view, use a network monitor such asLittle Snitch or the freeLuLu.

See what it leaves behind

Organice writes its local state to two readable places:

• ~/Library/Application Support/organice/ for the license, settings, folder rules, and undo journal.
• ~/.local/bin/organice for the command-line tool used by the Finder menu.

Read the journal yourself, or remove the app and its supporting pieces:

cat ~/Library/Application\ Support/organice/journal.jsonl

# removes the app, CLI, and login agent
organice uninstall

# also removes settings, license, and history
organice uninstall --purge
