PocketPacket
PocketPacket is a network packet analysis and protocol inspection tool for macOS, designed for network administrators, developers, and IT professionals who need to monitor, debug, and troubleshoot network traffic. It captures packets on local network interfaces and decodes them to show detailed information about network protocols, packet headers, payloads, and network flows. The app is useful for diagnosing connectivity issues, analysing network behaviour, and learning how network protocols work at a low level.

1 suggestionBased on the available information, PocketPacket appears to be a relatively niche networking utility with limited recent development activity. No native Apple Silicon version has been confirmed through the search results. Given the specialized nature of packet capture tools and the lack of clear updates, I recommend considering Wireshark as a robust alternative. Wireshark is actively maintained, has native Apple Silicon support, and is the industry standard for network packet analysis with comprehensive protocol support and advanced filtering capabilities. While it has a steeper learning curve than PocketPacket's simplified interface, it offers significantly more features and ongoing development.
