v3.2Sentinel supports macOS 13+ on both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) and Intel Macs. Due to Apple security requirements (TCC), the agent requires Full Disk Access to monitor file modifications and browser history.
1
Install SentinelAgent.pkg
Run the signed macOS package installer. It installs the binary to /Library/Application Support/Sentinel/ and registers a LaunchDaemon.
2
Grant Full Disk Access (Manual or MDM)
Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access. Toggle "ON" for SentinelAgent (or push MDM mobileconfig profile via Jamf).
