Little Snitch – Network monitor for Mac

The Little Snitch Network Monitor shows you where your Mac connects to on the Internet. You decide what you want to allow or deny.

Little Snitch has been keeping a watchful eye on your privacy, letting you know whenever an app wants to connect to the Internet. It has become the number one Network Monitor and Personal Application Firewall for the Mac.

  • Connection Alert: Whenever an app wants to connect to the Internet, Little Snitch shows a connection alert, so you can allow or deny the connection. No data is transmitted without your consent.
  • Silent Mode: With Silent Mode, new connections are automatically allowed at first. So you won’t get interrupted and you can make your final decision later at your leisure.
