Release Preflight is a Mac app that checks folders, ZIPs, macOS apps, and Xcode archives before you ship. It flags possible exposed secrets, sensitive files, and debug settings, and helps you review Apple entitlements. Export findings as HTML or JSON. Scans run on your Mac, with optional OSV lookups for known advisories for exact versions of supported dependencies. Requires macOS 14 or later.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Yuichi, the developer behind Release Preflight.
I built it for the last check before sharing a build. A folder or archive can still contain a test key or a development setting even when the build itself works. I wanted a way to check the files I was about to send.
Choose a folder, ZIP, macOS app, or Xcode archive and the app shows what it flagged, why it matters, and what you can check next. It masks detected secret values, leaves your files intact, and exports HTML or JSON if you want a record of the scan.
The checks cover common patterns. You can also enable an OSV lookup for known advisories for exact versions of supported dependencies. That lookup is off by default, and your source files stay on your Mac.
If you ship software from a Mac, what do you still check by hand just before you send a build?
