Description
As soon as you’re connected to the Internet, your apps can send whatever they want to wherever they want, unnoticed by you, because all of this happens invisibly under the hood.
Little Snitch Mini makes these network connections visible and puts you back in the driver’s seat!
It’s a lightweight, unobtrusive but yet incredibly powerful network monitoring and firewall tool, allowing you to conveniently watch and analyze all Internet connections made by your apps, and conveniently block unwanted ones with a single mouse click.
It provides exciting insights into the network activity of your computer and shows detailed connection information of all apps and system processes.
Enjoy easy to understand real-time diagrams of network traffic, an animated map view to identify connections into various countries, a traffic history with statistics information about previous connections over the past twelve months, and an extremely easy to use blocklist management – just choose from a curated set of blocklists to instantly isolate your computer from thousands of advertising-, tracking-, or malware-sites.
FREE VERSION
The basic network traffic monitoring functionality, including a real-time connection list, traffic diagrams and the animated map view of worldwide network connections can be used for free.
PREMIUM VERSION
The full feature set, including blocking of connections, extended traffic history time ranges, advanced display and filtering options and more is available as an in-app purchase.

Ratings and Reviews
Good but the older version was better.
I been using Little Snitch ssince 2015 and now on my m3max I have to use this copy the mini and its good you can track what apps send signals home or HQ sending signals inbound to computer the problem is that this version slows the connection down alot and I have 1 gig going through a CAT 8 cable into a TB4 dock that connected to mac, kinda ruins the experience big time for me and im a premium user, wish their was a way you guys can fix and update this.
Little Snitch is (Among) THE First GUI Pro-Active Firewall I Found
Little Snitch is among the best, or **the best**, firewall for your system. I’ve been using the Mac version for a while. Does twenty years sound like a long time?
A slick GUI showing data throughput information in a few simple ways, with more features:
1) Internet connection requests to other computers,
2) traditional two-dimensional ‘X’ and ‘Y’ graphs showing data throughput,
3) guesstimates of location information overlayed on interactive maps,
4) ability to STOP or allow a connection quickly.
I just recently decided to try this version out for a month.
Sorry for the immediate ding (Apple bug?), but the view of the map doesn’t show all the points. Many of the places being connected to are outside the view. :-( And a click on the ‘-‘ button doesn’t zoom out so we can see everything.
Little Snitch helps *you* understand your network traffic, it’s *not* trying to snitch against you.
Works great
I previously left a two star review and support promptly reached out to me and addressed my concerns. I am updating to Five stars for customer service. The app works great and is intuitive. It really gives insight in what some apps are doing in the background. I found one app that contained at least 10 different trackers that reported telemetry to various ad and analytic companies. Iw as able to block those and retain the base functionality of that app. For anyone that is privacy and security conscious and needs a graphical representation rather then looking through text logs, this is great!
Developer Response ,
Dear user, thank you for your feedback. Have you tried removing the connection entries by selecting and deleting them (in the context menu (right-click): “Delete from Connection List” (keyboard shortcut: Command-Backspace)? This will make them disappear forever.
