Discover everything NetMute can do for your Mac.
Block over 1100 known trackers with a single switch. Our curated tracker database detects ads, analytics, fingerprinting, and social trackers, and blocks them at the network level before they reach your data.
A content blocker for Safari that applies NetMute's tracker list inside the browser, which is the one place a network filter cannot reach once iCloud Private Relay is on.
Take granular control over which apps can access the internet. Create inbound and outbound rules, set up whitelists and blacklists, and manage connections with a click from your menu bar. Or switch to Quiet Mode and decide later, in one pass.
See exactly how much data each app consumes in real time. Monitor upload and download speeds, track data usage over time, and identify bandwidth-hungry applications.
Every network connection of your apps is logged and categorized. See which domains each app contacts, how often, and how much data is exchanged, and how often each rule you wrote has actually fired.
Our flagship feature provides a comprehensive privacy analysis for each app on your Mac. See privacy scores, detected trackers, and get intelligent blocking recommendations.
Create custom firewall configurations for different environments. Your home rules can differ from those at the café or office.
Integrates with macOS Focus modes. When you activate the “Work” focus, NetMute can automatically block social media and entertainment apps.
Create comprehensive reports on your Mac's network activity. Daily, weekly, and monthly summaries with exportable data, over a window you choose, from 3 months to 2 years.
Automatically applies strict security rules when connecting to public or untrusted Wi-Fi networks.
Set bandwidth caps for individual apps or globally, a built-in data saver for mobile hotspots and metered networks, so you don't need a separate app like TripMode.
A third state next to off and ask. Everything keeps running, and NetMute writes down every new connection instead of interrupting you. You decide later, in one pass, under Rules › Backlog.
Every domain rule now carries its own record: 412 hits · last 2 hours ago. A rule in a list used to be a claim. Now it is a measurement.
A page under Rules that finds the rules pointing nowhere: apps you uninstalled, subdomain rules a parent rule already shadows, domains Tracker Shield covers anyway.
The search field understands field terms. country:cn finds the apps calling China, host:doubleclick the apps contacting it, company:google shows where Google sits inside your Mac.
History used to be a fixed 90 days. Now you choose: 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or 2 years, with 1 year as the default. “What did January look like” finally has an answer.
