Mirror detects background macOS apps that deliberately hide from Activity Monitor. It exposes stealth tools like Interview Coder, Cluely, Hiding AI, and similar apps designed to stay invisible giving you full visibility and control over what’s really running on your Mac.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Abdulbasit, the maker of Mirror.
Mirror was built after noticing a growing class of macOS apps that deliberately hide from Activity Monitor — often without users fully realizing what’s running in the background. Some tools are useful, others questionable, but invisibility removes user choice.
Mirror gives that choice back.
It surfaces hidden background apps, including stealth tools that intentionally avoid detection, so you can clearly see what’s actually running on your Mac.
It’s:
* 🕵️♂️ Focused on transparency, not fear
* 🔒 Privacy-respecting and fully local
* 🧩 Open source, so you can verify how it works
I’d love feedback from builders, security folks, and macOS power users:
* What hidden apps surprised you the most?
* What detection signals should we add next?
Thanks for checking it out — happy to answer any questions!
