Users accidentally grant excessive permissions or can't remember which apps have full disk access.

Build a simple menu bar app that lists all apps with sensitive permissions and allows easy revocation.

Monetize through a Pro version with automation features for IT admins and power users.

Start with just displaying Full Disk Access grants with toggle switches.

Risk: Apple may replicate this functionality in System Settings.
