Little Snitch

Little Snitch is a super handy app for macOS that keeps an eye on your network traffic. It helps block connections to keep your privacy safe and sound.

Easy-to-Use Interface

The Little Snitch Network Monitor has a really nice interface. You'll find it easy to read, with cool animated diagrams that show real-time traffic info. This way, you can check things like bandwidth usage, connectivity status, and even see detailed traffic history from the last hour or so!

Filter Your Data

You can filter what you see based on the process name or server port. It's pretty flexible! Little Snitch lets you look at traffic peaks and average bandwidth. Plus, you can save snapshots of your data for later.

Capture Network Traffic Easily

Catching network traffic is a breeze with Little Snitch since it supports PCAP format. It displays network activity alongside different system events so you get the full picture.

Sneaky Silent Mode

If you're busy working and don't want to be bothered by notifications, there's a Silent Mode for that! But no worries—you can still check the Silent Mode Log to see what connection attempts happened while it was on.

Create Profiles for Different Rules

You can set up different profiles for your rules in Little Snitch. This means you only enable certain rules when that profile is active. Thanks to the status bar menu, switching profiles takes just a few clicks!

Automatic Profile Switching

This feature is awesome! You can link different networks with specific profiles. When your Mac detects a network, it will switch to the right profile automatically. For instance, use relaxed filters at home but stricter ones at an Internet Cafe.

Flexible Temporary Rules

Little Snitch also has temporary rules that work for limited times only. It even checks your ruleset to flag any overlapping or unnecessary rules so you can clean things up easily.

If you're interested in trying out Little Snitch, it's definitely worth checking out!
