# SWG bar > SWG bar is a macOS menu bar app that checks for evidence of HTTPS decryption by secure web gateways (SWGs). Its Chrome companion shows the current domain's latest local inspection result. SWG bar requires macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon. The optional companion requires Chrome 120 or later and the Mac app. Detection analysis and storage run locally. The app makes separate TLS probes; the extension reads existing observations and does not inspect the browser's current TLS connection or start a new probe. A public certificate chain does not prove that traffic bypassed a gateway. The released Mac app provides inspection evidence, domain-level SWG bypass, and desktop CLI/MCP controls. The Chrome companion displays domain results. The public documentation skill below provides product guidance, without access to the desktop app or local data. Consult the product overview for current availability, trial and pricing details, and the policies for data handling, activation and refunds. Use the current release manifest for the latest version, installer URL and SHA-256 checksum. Version references in articles may be historical. Chrome Web Store releases are reviewed and published separately from the Mac app. Public website access, installer downloads and public agent tools require no account, registration, login or API key. Purchases use guest Stripe checkout without a SWG bar login; the buyer must confirm payment. Order and license data remain protected.
