The essentials.

Protection is free on every Mac with an Apple chip. Proof is what you pay for.

What does cybee not do?

cybee looks at your Macs and, if you connect it, your Google Workspace. It does not cover your written company rules, how your team behaves, or other online services such as client tools. It is not a certification or an audit. It runs on Macs with an Apple chip, M1 or newer. Macs with an Intel chip are not supported. Windows, Linux and Microsoft 365 are not supported today either. It shows what AI agents do, but choosing what each agent may reach is planned, not live.

Is cybee security software or a compliance tool?

Security software first. It stops bad software on your Macs while it runs, shows which AI tools are on them and keeps a dated record of your settings for the day a client asks. Your company policies and any independent audit stay separate.

What is free?

Protection, on every Mac, with no limit on Macs or people and no end date. That covers stopping bad software, alerts, the 118 safety checks and the list of apps, browser extensions and AI tools on each Mac.

Reports without the seal, Google Workspace visibility and email support within one working day are free too. Settings kept fixed, sealed records, training, an incident response plan and chat support are on the Proof plan.

Which devices does it cover?

Macs with an Apple chip, M1 or newer. To check, open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac. If it says Chip, your Mac is supported. If it says Processor, it is an Intel Mac. Intel Macs, iPhone, iPad and servers are not supported. Windows and Linux are not supported today. They are being built. From your phone you can still ask about your Macs, through your connected AI assistant.

Which assistants work?

ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor, and also Claude Code, Codex and Grok. After the install you type /cybee, then your question. No AI assistant? Terminal works too. Copilot is not supported. Set up your AI assistant.

Do I need to work in the terminal?

No. Run the install line in Terminal, a chat, your IDE or a CLI, and keep working where you started. You ask your questions in your AI assistant, and the cybee icon in your Mac’s menu bar shows your status and any training that is due. The install guide shows each step.

What should I do straight after installation?

Stay where you started. In a chat or your IDE, type /cybee and it suggests useful questions about your protection, your AI tools and what to do next. In Terminal, cybee status shows whether protection is on. Start with the assistant guide.

Can I use cybee from my phone?

Yes, through your connected assistant. Ask about your Macs while you are away from your desk. The protection itself runs on each Mac, and a change still waits for a yes from the person who uses that Mac.

How do I remove cybee?

In Terminal, type sudo cybee uninstall, press Return, then type your Mac’s password.

Protection and changes.

Protection runs on its own. Anything that changes a Mac waits for the person who uses it.

What is the difference between stopping bad software and fixing settings?

Detection finds bad software and stops it while it runs. Hardening turns on your Mac’s own safety switches, such as disk encryption and the screen lock, and keeps them on. The two work together, and neither one makes a Mac impossible to break into.

Does a change I ask for in the chat need my confirmation?

Yes. Anything you ask for in the chat that changes a Mac waits for a yes from the person who uses that Mac. Check the action and which Mac it affects before you approve it.

What can I see about our AI tools?

The AI tools found on each Mac, the outside tools they are set up to connect to, and what they did, with the time and whether each action was only tried or completed. A connection that is set up does not prove it was used. See an example.

Does cybee restrict what an AI agent can do?

No. It shows what agents do. It does not block them, and it cannot promise that every action is captured. Choosing what each agent may reach is planned, not live.

Where do security alerts arrive?

On the Mac as a notification, in Slack or Microsoft Teams, or by SMS. Each alert has an id you can ask your AI assistant about. Getting an alert never approves a change on a Mac.

Should I remove my existing security tools?

Keep what you have while you try cybee. Not sure the two get along? Write to [email protected] with the name of your tool, and we answer within one working day.

Has Apple checked cybee?

Yes, in one specific way. The cybee app for Mac is Apple notarized: Apple checked the submitted software for known malicious content and signing problems. That is separate from the Endpoint Security permission, which lets security software use Apple’s security framework. Neither one rates how well cybee detects threats.

Apple: notarization Apple: Endpoint Security permission

Data and privacy.

Security facts leave the Mac. Never your files or your passwords.

What runs on the Mac, and what leaves it?

Stopping bad software, fixing settings and checking files all happen on the Mac. What leaves it are security facts: events, the state of each setting, the list of apps, browser extensions and AI tools, what the AI tools are connected to and what they did, with the time. Never the contents of your files, never passwords or tokens.

Read the privacy policy, and ask for the retention and subprocessor details that apply to your setup.

Can cybee be used to monitor employees?

No. cybee watches programs, not people. It checks apps and security settings and never scores anyone’s productivity. It does record what the AI tools on each Mac did, with the time. An admin is whoever holds an access key for the team. An admin can ask about every Mac and sees what cybee recorded on it, never its files.

Does my assistant provider see the answers?

Yes, the answers you ask for, such as summaries, tables and verdicts. They pass through your AI assistant’s provider under its terms. File contents, passwords and tokens are never part of them. Check the data settings of your AI assistant account.

Can I request a Data Processing Agreement?

Yes. Ask [email protected] for the current agreement, the retention details and the list of subprocessors before you connect a setup with specific data requirements.

Proof and its limits.

Every record shows its dates, and what cybee could not see.

What does a Trust Passport prove?

Which security settings held on your Macs, and since when. The Trust Passport is a dated record of how your Macs are protected. Your client or insurer opens it through one link and sees what holds, since when, and what cybee could not see. It is not a certification or an audit, and it does not answer for your policies, your people or your cloud. It says so on the page.

Will a client accept it?

Your client or insurer decides. The Passport answers their questions about your Macs, for example whether your laptops are encrypted and since when. Policies, people and other business matters need their own answers, and the Passport is not a certification. See one questionnaire question worked through.

What if one Mac is missing?

It stays on the record as not assessed. A line such as “seven of eight Macs assessed” keeps the missing Mac in view instead of counting it as a pass.

Does cybee cover Google Workspace and two step sign in (MFA)?

Yes, for connected Google Workspace accounts. Account activity and sign in settings, such as two step sign in (MFA), have their own record, separate from your Macs. Seeing them is free. The sealed account record and the evidence when someone leaves are on the Proof plan. Other cloud services are outside that record.

Can I revoke or export a record?

Yes. You can revoke a Passport link, and ask the assistant for an export of the data at any time. When the Proof plan ends, existing links stop working after a grace period. Ask us for its length.

Security training.

Short lessons for your team, with completion recorded, on the Proof plan.

What does security training cover?

Short lessons on using AI tools safely, keeping secrets out of code and terminals, spotting fake installers and password theft, sharing apps with care and what to do when a device is lost. Use them when someone joins, as a yearly refresher or for a specific role.

Which plan includes training?

The Proof plan. Assign lessons from your AI assistant and see who has finished them. See how training works.

Does the current Passport include training completion?

No. Completed training is recorded separately from the Passport for your Macs. Finishing a lesson is not a certification of your company, and it does not complete an audit.

Plans and billing.

Protection is free. The Proof plan is 9 per Mac per month, or 90 a year.

How much does the Proof plan cost?

9 per Mac per month, or 90 a year, in CHF, EUR, USD or GBP, excluding tax. Paying yearly costs 18 less per Mac than twelve monthly payments, about 16.7%.

Is the price per person or per Mac?

Per Mac. One person using two Macs on the Proof plan counts as two. Free protection has no limit on Macs or people.

What changes if I stop paying?

Your Macs stay protected on the free plan, and the settings already applied stay on them. cybee stops restoring settings when they change, and no new sealed Passports are made. After a grace period, existing Passport links stop working. Write to [email protected] for the current grace period before you subscribe.

What support is included?

Email support within one working day on the free plan. Chat support as well on the Proof plan.

Are custom arrangements possible?

Yes. Talk to us about larger organisations, franchise networks, insurers or IT service providers. Talk to us.

Can I try the Proof plan?

Yes, for 14 days. Free protection stays free, with no end date. See the trial and plans.

How do I upgrade to the Proof plan?

Ask for a paid feature, such as the Trust Passport, in your AI assistant or in Terminal. cybee replies with a Stripe payment link right there. This website has no checkout. Read about the trial and upgrade.

Your next client will ask. Be ready.

Needs a Mac with Apple silicon. To check, open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac: next to Chip, the name starts with Apple M. Intel Macs are not supported.

curl -sSf https://get.cybee.dev | sh

Run it in one of these places. Keep working there.

  • Terminal

    Open Terminal, paste the line and press Return.

    Then cybee status

  • Chat

    Paste it into your AI assistant’s chat and ask it to install cybee. This needs an assistant that runs on your Mac. A chat in a browser tab cannot reach your Mac.

    Then /cybee in the same chat

  • IDE

    Paste it into the terminal in Cursor, or ask Cursor to run it.

    Then /cybee in Cursor’s chat

  • CLI

    Ask Claude Code or Codex to run it. macOS asks for your password in a window.

    Then /cybee in the same session

Your Mac may ask for your password. That is macOS checking it is you. When System Settings opens, switch on CybeeES under Full Disk Access. Protection starts then. Full Disk Access lets cybee watch what programs do. Your files never leave your Mac.

Want the Proof plan?

The 14 day trial starts in your AI assistant, after cybee is installed. Ask for a Proof plan feature, such as the Trust Passport. The link arrives in the chat and leads to Stripe, the payment service.
