# Something hit your car. Find the clip in minutes.

Curbwatch pulls every Sentry Mode and Dashcam event on your Tesla's USB drive into one queue on your Mac. Jump to the moment it happened, watch it from every camera, keep the clip that matters, and clear the rest of the drive.

Coming to the Mac App Store. macOS 15+, Apple Silicon.

![Curbwatch on a Mac. The review queue lists today's events down the left. The selected event plays on the right from four cameras at once: two people stand beside the parked car, and markers on the timeline show where a person appears.](https://curbwatch.app/assets/shots/01-hero-1920.webp)

A real event, as Curbwatch shows it. The queue is on the left, all four cameras play together, and each marker on the timeline is a moment the scan found a person. The scan is part of Pro.

## Triage at the speed of `S` `X`

Every event lands in one queue. `S` keeps a clip, `X` sends it to the trash, and the key caps sit right on the buttons so there's nothing to memorize. A parking lot's worth of alerts is a five-minute pass.

## Every angle, one timeline

All the cameras play together on one timeline, so you can scrub straight to the moment that set the recording off and watch it from every side.

## Skip to the moment someone walked up (Pro)

The scan runs on your Mac. It marks every second of movement on the timeline and flags where a person or a vehicle shows up, so you can filter the queue down to just those clips and hop between the moments with `.` and `,`. Free on your first 25 clips, then part of Pro.

## Hand over one video, not a folder (Pro)

When the adjuster asks for “the video,” export the combined camera grid or any single camera as one MP4, trimmed to just the moment, the minutes around it, or the whole clip.

## See where it happened

Events plot on a map of the places your car has been parked, so the grocery-lot ding and the driveway false alarms sort themselves out at a glance. The map runs on Apple Maps and stays off until you turn it on.

## A trash you can trust

Rejected clips go to a staging folder on the drive itself. Nothing is actually deleted until you empty the trash, so you can change your mind right up until then.

## What it looks like

![Curbwatch's Export sheet over a paused event. It offers four layouts, from one camera to a grid of all of them, a switch for each camera, three resolutions, and a choice of how much to export: the moment, a minute either side of the trigger, or the full clip.](https://curbwatch.app/assets/shots/05-export-1920.webp)

Exporting one MP4 for the insurer. Pick the layout and the cameras, then trim to the moment, the minute either side of it, or the whole clip. Export is part of Pro.

![Curbwatch's Map view. A list of places runs down the left, each with a count of events. On the right, a map of a waterfront street has two photo pins where events were recorded.](https://curbwatch.app/assets/shots/04-map-1920.webp)

Every event plotted where the car was parked, with the places you park most at the top of the list. The map runs on Apple Maps and stays off until you turn it on.

![Curbwatch's Recents view. Three drives from one afternoon are listed on the left by start and end time. The selected 16-minute drive plays on the right from the front camera, with the rear and side cameras in a strip beside it.](https://curbwatch.app/assets/shots/06-recents-1920.webp)

Dashcam footage grouped into drives. This 16-minute trip is one row, not 64 separate files.

These are real clips. The licence plates are blurred for this page only. Curbwatch shows your footage as the car recorded it.

## Your footage never leaves your Mac.

Curbwatch reads your drive locally. Your clips stay on your machine.

- There's no account to create and no cloud on the other end. Your clips are never uploaded.
- Locations stay on your Mac too, unless you switch on Apple Maps. Then Curbwatch sends each event's approximate location to Apple to draw the map and name the place. It's off until you say yes.
- Usage stats are off unless you say yes. The app asks exactly once, and there's a switch in Settings if you change your mind. [Read exactly what's shared](https://curbwatch.app/privacy).
