What it does
Little Snitch is a macOS network monitor and application firewall with connection alerts, a silent mode and traffic-history views.
Little Snitch lets a user inspect connections by app, host and other groupings before choosing rules. Silent Mode initially allows new connections, giving a person time to review the activity later instead of deciding during every task. Choose that mode consciously: a quiet observation period is different from blocking an unknown connection immediately. The reviewed page advertises the next major version as a beta, so distinguish the current release from preview features while comparing the product.
