What you get
See what your Mac connects to and stop unwanted traffic.
Tiny Shield gives you a live view of the connections your Mac makes and receives. You can identify destinations by readable hostnames rather than numerical IP addresses, making unexpected sites easier to recognize. When you find a website or app you don’t want communicating over the network, you can select it and block it.
You can also see how much data your Mac sends and receives through traffic charts. Filters let you review the past 24 hours, the past week, or a custom period, so you can examine activity over a specific timeframe instead of watching only the current moment.
You don’t have to keep the main window open to stay informed. Tiny Shield can run in the background and alert you when a new app tries to access the internet or an unusual connection appears, giving you a reason to investigate.
