Little Snitch 7 Beta

What’s New in Little Snitch 7

AI Assistant

Not sure about a connection? Ask the AI Assistant right from the connection alert. It explains what a process is, why it wants to connect, and what happens if you deny it. It only runs when you ask, and no account is needed.

Control Center

Redesigned from the ground up. See your Mac’s recent network activity right from the menu bar, and temporarily allow a blocked connection to fix a stalled download on the spot.

Live Connection Log

See every connection as it happens – which app, which server, allowed or denied. Filters narrow thousands of entries down to the ones that matter.

Rules at a Glance

See exactly which rules apply to a selected connection in the connection list, right in the inspector of Network Monitor.

DNS Fallback Resolver

If your preferred DNS service is unavailable, Little Snitch automatically switches to another one. And the list of providers now shows each one’s country of jurisdiction.

DNS Metrics and Logging

Get detailed insights into your DNS resolvers, including success and failure rates, and troubleshoot DNS issues with a comprehensive resolution log.
