Features Connections

See who your apps are talking to.

Mac Shield shows which apps on your Mac are connected to the internet, where they’re connecting, and how much they send and receive. With Pro, it remembers what’s normal and alerts you when a program goes online for the first time or starts uploading far more than usual.

Your Mac talks to the internet all day. Do you know what it’s saying?

Apps check for updates, sync, phone home and report analytics. Usually that’s fine. But stolen data leaves the same way, quietly, through a program you’ve never heard of, or a familiar app that suddenly uploads gigabytes.

Mac Shield shows the conversation.

Live Free

Every app online, grouped the way you think about them (Chrome’s dozen helper processes count as Chrome). For each one: where it connects, by name where possible, and how much it sends and receives. Programs that look wrong are flagged:

  • running from a hidden or temporary folder;
  • not signed by an identified developer;
  • running after its own program file was deleted.

Over time Pro

Mac Shield Pro keeps 30 days of history on your Mac, and tells you:

  • when a program goes online for the first time;
  • when an app starts talking somewhere new;
  • when an app uploads far more than it ever has (the classic sign of data being stolen).

Honest by design.

Your traffic is encrypted, and Mac Shield doesn’t try to break that. It shows where and how much, never what. Nothing it records leaves your Mac.
