FireWally is a privacy-first network tool designed to give you full control over your Mac’s online activity. See which apps are actively connecting to the internet in real time, block unwanted connections, and explore detailed traffic history by the hour or for the entire day. Apple Intelligence–powered insights help you understand why apps connect and whether they’re safe, making FireWally a smart, intuitive way to protect your privacy and take control of your network.
FireWally displays all active apps and services connecting to the internet in real-time, allowing users to see exactly which apps go online and when. Users can block unwanted app connections with a single click and manage background syncing to maintain control over network activity.
FireWally uses Apple Intelligence to provide intelligent summaries explaining exactly what each app is and why it's connecting to the network. This helps users identify unusual patterns and unexpected background activity.
FireWally provides a visual breakdown of app-level and system-wide network traffic (inbound, outbound, and total volume), helping users identify high-bandwidth apps and unnecessary data usage. Users can pause connections and disable background syncing to avoid surprise charges.
FireWally is free and uses minimal CPU and RAM compared to alternatives like Little Snitch, making it efficient for users running multiple applications while maintaining full firewall functionality and app-level network control.
FireWally allows users to explore network activity across multiple time ranges: real-time internet traffic, the past hour, and the current day. This enables identification of unusual spikes or background activity patterns.
