Just posted a graphical interface to see what extensions are running on Macs, the version of extension, what type of extension each is, the status, path, and SDK. This is a rebirth of the slick Extensions Manager of old. It’s less cool like that as it doesn’t yet allow for extensions management – but should once the logic is worked out (or an API is provided for these types of system-wide tasks rather than just for the app that instantiated the extension).
To download Extensions Manager, click https://github.com/krypted/extensionsmanager/raw/main/Extension%20Manager%20Executable.zip or to access the source for it and the CLI version, visit https://github.com/krypted/extensionsmanager.
The tool is similar in nature to the early days of the OS 9-era Extensions Manager from Apple, as seen below:
The licensing is intentionally quite open, which hopefully eventually leads to it just being a feature of some other tools out there. The uses are limited given the current architecture as, to quote the great Quinn “The Eskimo!” at Apple, “There is no API to get the list of system extensions installed.” This means shelling out information, which isn’t the most friendly with current App Store guidelines.
