File-system detection beats process sniffing for accuracy on installed apps.

Strengths
  • Surfaces notarization and Hardened Runtime status alongside framework detection.
  • Global npm package works instantly without admin privileges or complex setup.
  • Filters output by specific stack like Electron or Qt for bulk scanning.
Weaknesses
  • Limited to macOS and Windows; Linux users get no utility from this tool.
  • Binary signature heuristics may lag behind new framework releases.
Target Audience

Security researchers, QA engineers, and curious developers
