Little Snitch Agent
Little Snitch is a personal firewall and network monitoring utility for macOS that intercepts and logs all outgoing network connections made by applications on your Mac. It lets you see which apps are trying to contact the internet, block unwanted traffic, create rules based on applications or domains, and monitor your network activity in real time. The app is used by privacy-conscious users, security professionals, and anyone concerned about data leakage from installed software.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionLittle Snitch Agent is a helper component of the main Little Snitch firewall application — it is not a standalone app and cannot be updated independently. To check whether you have a native Apple Silicon build, launch the main Little Snitch application, go to Help → About Little Snitch, and check the architecture listed there. If it shows Intel, update Little Snitch to the latest version through the app's built-in updater (Little Snitch → Check for Updates) or by downloading a fresh copy from the vendor's website. Obdev, the developer, has shipped native Apple Silicon support in Little Snitch since version 5.0 (released in 2021), so updating to any recent build will give you a native version that runs natively on M-series Macs. There is no need to separately update the Agent component — updating the main app automatically updates all its sub-components.
