Which devices work
Protection and the safety checks are free on every supported Mac. Fixing weak settings and keeping them on is free too.

Check one Mac
- 1
Open the Apple menu.
Click the Apple logo in the top left corner of the screen.
- 2
Choose About This Mac.
A small window opens with the Mac’s name and details.
- 3
Read the line next to Chip.
If it starts with Apple M, the Mac has an Apple chip and Cybee runs on it. If it does not, Cybee does not run on that Mac.
What you will see: a line such as Chip, Apple M, followed by a number.
Do this on every Mac, not only yours. One Mac that works does not mean the whole team’s will. For the exact model and macOS version of each Mac, email [email protected] before you rely on it. See what is planned
What the install asks for
| You need | Why |
|---|---|
| Your Mac’s password | Installing security software needs an administrator, so macOS checks it is you. Your account must be allowed to install apps. |
| One switch in System Settings | CybeeES under Full Disk Access. macOS lets security software watch what programs do only once you switch it on. |
| An internet connection | The installer downloads Cybee from get.cybee.dev, Cybee’s install server. |
| No account | There is nothing to sign up for. The install creates one list for all your Macs, which Cybee calls your organization, and a key that is saved on the Mac. The key lets your AI assistant manage your Macs. Terminal calls it your admin key. |
What macOS asks you, step by step
If your Macs already run other security tools
Keep your current protection and device management running while you check that Cybee works alongside them. Before you install on the team’s Macs, send us the details below. It is the quickest way to a useful answer.
before you email usthree details
- The model and macOS version of each Mac.
- The security software and device management already running, with names and versions.
- How you want to use Cybee: which assistant, or Terminal.
Leave out your admin key and any password. Email [email protected]

Keep the rest on your list
Other computers, Macs without Cybee and cloud accounts that are not connected still belong on your team’s list. If they are missing from a Cybee record, it means they were not checked, not that they are fine.
