About
SilentKnight 3 is a successor to SilentKnight 2 for Apple silicon Macs. It checks whether your Mac is up to date automatically, covering firmware, security settings and data files, and it also checks macOS malware scans. The app is simpler and easier to use than its predecessor, while providing more detail, and it can report results to a text file or in JSON.
SilentKnight 3 supports auto-update, and version 3.02 fixes its menus. It runs only on Apple silicon Macs, requires Sequoia 15.6 or later, and is compatible with Tahoe and Golden Gate.
Help is available as both a summary Help page and a detailed reference.
