Your organisation installed Quint on this Mac. This page is for you, the person who did not buy it.

​
What runs

  • A background service and a menu bar item (QuintAgent). There is no Dock icon.
  • Two system extensions that record which processes your AI coding agents start, which files they touch and where they connect.
  • A small hook inside the coding agents Quint supports (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and others). See Supported agents. The hook tells Quint what the agent is about to do, before it does it.
Everything else on the machine works as before. Your browser, your editor and your other apps are not slowed or changed.

​
What it records

Quint records what your AI agents do and uploads that record to your organisation’s workspace. That includes the text of your prompts, the contents of files an agent reads and the output of commands it runs. Credentials Quint recognises are masked before upload; anything else you paste into an agent is uploaded as written. Network destinations are recorded for every process, but only those from an agent session are uploaded. The full notice is at What Quint records; the installer showed the same text before it installed.

​
What you might see

Nothing, most of the time. On most fleets Quint only records. Rules run in shadow mode and interrupt nothing. A refusal inside the agent. If your organisation has armed a rule and your agent tries something it refuses, the agent is told and shows you a line that starts with “Quint:”, for example:
A notification asking you to decide. If your organisation has armed a rule that asks, macOS shows a notification such as “Your agent wants to run a command” or “Your agent wants to change a file”, naming the agent and folder, with Allow, Review and Deny buttons. The agent waits for your answer.

​
What you can do

If a rule gets in the way of your work, ask your security team to relax it for your repository, with a reason they can read. You cannot change a rule yourself. Pausing or removing the endpoint is your security team’s call. If you believe something is wrong on your machine, tell them and point them at Verify a machine.
