Updated
Which should you choose?

If you care about privacy — not just blocking a few apps — NetMute gives you tracker detection, privacy scores, traffic monitoring, network profiles and data limits in one app. Free to try, one-time Premium, no subscription.

What NetMute does

  • Per-app firewall — allow or block any app's internet access
  • Tracker Shield — detection of 1100+ known trackers
  • Privacy score per app, based on what each app contacts
  • Real-time traffic and domain-level monitoring
  • Per-app data limits and metered-network profiles
  • Network profiles that switch rules automatically
  • Fail-open by design: if NetMute stops, your connection stays online
  • One-time In-App Purchase — no subscription, no account

Simple blocker vs full privacy tool

Blocking specific apps is the easy part. NetMute goes further: per-app firewall rules, real-time traffic monitoring, tracker detection with 1100+ known trackers, a privacy score per app, network profiles and data limits — a privacy control centre, not just an on/off switch.

Feature differences in detail

NetMute shows which domains each app contacts, scores apps by behaviour, blocks 1100+ known trackers automatically, and lets you set different rules for different networks. If you want to understand and control your Mac's entire network behaviour, that is what it is built for.
