For more than 20 years, 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.

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.
