About This App

Little Snitch Software Update is a helper component of Little Snitch, a personal firewall and network monitor for macOS. This helper bundle is responsible for checking for updates to the main Little Snitch application and managing the update download and installation process. Little Snitch itself monitors all outgoing network connections from your Mac, lets you block or allow them per-application rules, and provides detailed logs of network activity.

This is not a standalone application — it is a helper component bundled inside Little Snitch. You cannot update it separately. To ensure you have the latest native Apple Silicon build of Little Snitch (if available), visit the Objective Development website or launch Little Snitch on your Mac and check Help → Check for Updates. If you are currently running an Intel-only build of Little Snitch under Rosetta, updating the main app through its built-in update mechanism will pull the native Apple Silicon version if one has been released. Since the bundle ID prefix at.obdev suggests this is from a European developer (likely Objective Development, makers of Little Snitch), check their official download page to confirm whether a native build is available for your Mac, or contact their support to ask about Apple Silicon compatibility and native build timelines before the September 2028 Rosetta 2 removal deadline.
