Plugsight watches your USB devices think out loud
A local-first macOS monitor that records what USB devices claim to be, what they enumerate as, and what they do afterward.
Field notes
Plugsight uses one local daemon to collect device events, score suspicious behavior, and scan mounted storage, while its menu-bar interface and MCP server consume the same timeline. The site shows an example involving 1,204 files and a device that began typing 0.4 seconds after insertion. Its scoring combines latency, keystroke timing, redundant-keyboard detection, and device-class comparison, while explicitly acknowledging that behavioral detection is probabilistic.
