Ghostmoon
Ghostmoon is a macOS menu bar utility that puts system controls, maintenance tools, device switching, and status information in one place.
What is Ghostmoon?
Ghostmoon is a native macOS utility app that lives in the menu bar and gives users quick access to everyday system controls, maintenance actions, and hardware or network information. It is designed for people who want faster access to common Mac tasks without opening several separate settings panes or running Terminal commands. Typical uses include keeping a Mac awake during long jobs, switching audio devices, ejecting external drives, checking battery and system status, and managing display or interface behaviors. The app supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs and is offered for macOS 13 Ventura or newer. Ghostmoon is published by Ghostmoon and focuses on combining many small system helpers into a compact desktop utility.

Safety overview
Status: Use with caution
Ghostmoon is a legitimate Mac utility, but it is distributed as a pre-release that is not yet signed or notarized. Because of that, macOS will show stronger security warnings than it does for typical App Store or notarized downloads. Its system-tool features may interact with network settings, audio devices, displays, storage devices, and other Mac controls in ways that are normal for this kind of utility. Download it only from the official Ghostmoon website, and use extra care before running maintenance or system-control actions if you are on a work Mac or managing important external drives.
Recommendation: Keep Ghostmoon if you use its menu bar shortcuts for system controls and maintenance. If you do not rely on those tools, removing it is reasonable and should only affect Ghostmoon’s own convenience features. If you plan to install or keep using it, prefer the official download source and be deliberate when using actions that change device, display, or network behavior.
