Perminator

Permission denied shouldn’t be a guessing game. Perminator is a native macOS permission scratchpad and read-only filesystem auditor. Use Scratch to build POSIX modes and copy chmod commands in seconds. When a directory gets complicated, open Audit to map its structure, surface risky or blocked paths, and explain effective access step by step. AUDIT WITH EVIDENCE • Inspect permissions across a selected directory tree • See direct concerns and unique “N below” rollups • Trace traversal, reading, writing, creation, deletion, renaming, execution, ownership, and permission changes • Understand POSIX modes, ordered ACLs, sticky directories, BSD flags, links, mount state, and incomplete metadata • Evaluate deterministic General Safety, OpenSSH, and Credentials policies • Preview counterfactual changes and copy commands without applying them SCRATCH FAST • Build owner, group, and other permissions visually • Convert symbolic modes and octal values • Drop a file to inspect its permissions • Copy a ready-to-use chmod command PRIVATE BY DESIGN Perminator reads metadata only from folders you choose. It never changes filesystem permissions, reads file contents, connects to a server, tracks usage, or sends telemetry. Permission denied, explained.
