macOS Employee Monitoring Agent (Apple Silicon)

Anexet deploys a native agent on macOS 11 and later — Intel x86-64 and Apple Silicon ARM64 — that records screens, webcam, and microphone, intercepts application and web activity, and feeds everything into the same security console as your Windows and Linux endpoints. Screen recording, live view, and audio capture are available from the Standard plan. Anexet is deployed on-premise; the vendor has no access to your data.

Full Visibility on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs

Most monitoring tools stop at Windows. Anexet's native macOS agent — including ARM64 — gives your security team the same depth of visibility on every Mac as on any Windows workstation.

Apple Silicon adoption accelerated Mac deployment in enterprise environments — developer teams, creative departments, and executive offices all run M-series hardware. The assumption that Macs are inherently safer than Windows endpoints is a well-documented blind spot: a macOS workstation with a browser, USB port, messaging apps, cloud-sync clients, and file-share access presents the same insider-threat surface as any Windows laptop.

Anexet closes that gap with a native macOS agent that operates at the endpoint level, not as a network proxy. The agent intercepts application activity, network traffic, audio and video sessions, and device events at the source, then forwards compressed event data over your internal network to your on-premise Data Processing Server. Nothing reaches the vendor. Intel and Apple Silicon Macs are supported under a single agent package deployed from the same Administrator Console wizard that covers your entire fleet.

All recorded footage, audio tracks, and intercepted events appear in the same Client Console your security team already uses — searchable, timeline-linked, and exportable for investigations.

Why it matters

  • Native ARM64 support

    The agent runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4) — no Rosetta emulation, no separate binary. Intel and ARM64 Macs are managed from the same deployment wizard.

  • Same depth as Windows

    Screen recording, live view, webcam, microphone, application activity, browser interception, USB control — the core monitoring set mirrors the Windows agent capability from Standard.

  • Fully on-premise

    All recordings, intercepted events, and audio tracks stay on your server. Scinero Software Limited has no access to your data — satisfying strict data-sovereignty policies.

What Anexet Monitors on macOS Endpoints

All capabilities below are verified against the plan matrix. Core monitoring — screen recording, audio, application activity, network traffic — starts with Standard. Exact feature availability per macOS version is confirmed during the demo.

Screen recording & live view

  • Continuous desktop recording

    Standard

    The endpoint agent records the macOS desktop session at configured quality and frame rate; footage is stored on your on-premise server and indexed against the user activity timeline.

  • Live view (real-time monitoring)

    Standard

    A security officer can open a live preview of any monitored macOS workstation directly from the Client Console without additional tools.

  • Historical playback

    Standard

    Stored recordings are accessible from the User Activity section; the timeline links recording segments to the active application log with adjustable playback speed.

  • Active application overlay

    Standard

    During playback you see which application was in focus at each moment, turning raw video into annotated, timestamped evidence.

Webcam & audio capture

  • Webcam video capture on schedule

    Standard

    The agent records video from the built-in or attached macOS webcam at configured intervals or on a policy trigger.

  • Webcam still snapshots

    Advanced

    Periodic still images from the webcam — useful for presence checks on remote or work-from-home Mac users — without the storage overhead of continuous video.

  • Microphone recording

    Standard

    Captures audio from the macOS microphone as a scheduled or real-time track; multichannel audio inputs are stored as separate tracks.

  • Speaker / system audio recording

    Standard

    Captures macOS system audio output as a separate channel, covering calls, video conferences, and media playback.

Application & network activity

  • Application activity monitoring

    Standard

    App launch and close events, foreground/background switches, and idle vs. active time logged per application and user.

  • Browser activity interception

    Standard

    Web sessions through monitored macOS browsers captured; URL, page title, and session duration recorded.

  • Network traffic interception

    Standard

    HTTP, FTP, XMPP, web mail, web messengers, and social networks intercepted at the agent level on each macOS workstation.

  • Cloud storage client interception

    Standard

    Desktop cloud-sync clients available on macOS monitored for uploads and downloads.

Device & clipboard control

  • USB / external device control

    Standard

    USB and removable-storage connect/disconnect events logged; port activity and file transfers appear in the Console.

  • Clipboard control

    Standard

    Clipboard contents sampled and logged for policy review; blocking available on Advanced and Premium.

  • Screenshots

    Standard

    Periodic or triggered screenshots captured from the macOS desktop session and stored in the intercepted data index.

  • Printer monitoring

    Standard

    Local and network print jobs tracked per user on macOS endpoints.

Coverage may vary by macOS version and hardware. Our team confirms the exact configuration for your environment during the demo.

On-Premise Monitoring — Your macOS Data Never Leaves Your Infrastructure

The Anexet endpoint agent runs silently on macOS 11 and later — on Intel x86-64 and Apple Silicon ARM64 workstations. It captures screen frames, webcam video, audio channels, and application events at configured quality settings and schedules, with no perceptible impact on normal workstation operation. All captured data is transmitted over the internal network to the Anexet Data Processing Server on your own infrastructure and indexed against the user activity timeline.

Anexet is deployed entirely on-premise. All recordings, audio tracks, screenshots, and intercepted events remain on your server. Scinero Software Limited, the vendor, has no access to your systems or any captured data — making macOS monitoring viable even under strict data-sovereignty or insider-threat policies.

How macOS Monitoring Works — 4 Steps

From endpoint deployment to a searchable, evidence-ready record in four steps.

The Agents Control Server pushes the macOS agent package to each endpoint using the deployment wizard in the Administrator Console — by hostname, IP range, or directory group. Intel and Apple Silicon Macs use the same package; no manual per-machine installation is required at scale.

1

Once installed, the agent runs silently in the background, intercepting network sessions, device events, application activity, audio and video at the source. Captured data is compressed and forwarded over the internal network to the Data Processing Server on your infrastructure — nothing reaches the vendor or any external service.

2

All intercepted events are indexed by the Data Processing Server. Security staff search by user, date range, application, keyword, or data type from the Information Search module. Screen footage is timeline-linked to the application log for fast investigation.

3

From the Client Console, a security officer or authorised manager opens the User Activity section, scrubs the timeline, launches a live view of any macOS workstation, or exports recording segments for an investigation case.
