What it does
Most Mac apps quietly connect to dozens of servers. NetMute shows every outgoing connection, detects trackers, lets you block unwanted domains, and gives every app a privacy score—all locally on your Mac. No account. No cloud.
Discover which Mac apps secretly send data, and stop them. Per-app firewall with tracker detection & privacy score. One-time purchase, no subscription.
A privacy firewall for your Mac. See what every app is doing, and block it in one click. All from your menu bar. Block 1100+ known trackers with a tap. Ads, analytics, fingerprinting, and social trackers, stopped at the network level before reaching your data. Turn on Tracker Shield and all known trackers are blocked system-wide. No configuration needed. It just works. Block by company, not just by individual domains. If Facebook is blocked, all tracking subdomains are blocked too. Critical trackers that apps need to function are automatically allowed with a warning. Apps keep running, your privacy remains protected. Cut an app off from the internet with one switch, or let it through and…from netmute.com
