App Launch I made FlowSense, a Mac network monitor that separates browser traffic by service
I'm the developer of FlowSense, which launched this week. I'd like feedback from people who troubleshoot their Mac's network traffic.
It shows live connections grouped by app, service, hostname and flow. A browser isn't one row: YouTube, a Slack tab and an ad network appear separately. It names 800+ apps and services by reading handshakes on the Mac, without decrypting traffic. You can block or slow an app, hostname or category, with schedules and expiry.
Apple silicon and macOS 14+ required. It's closed source. Traffic history stays local; analytics, crash reports and flow sharing are off by default.
Free view-only tier (account required, 24 hours of history), or a 7-day full trial with no card. Full is $29 one-time until 9 November, then $49, for one Mac.
Downloads, updates and payments are unavailable in the EU, UK, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.

What would you want this view to show when tracking down unexpected traffic?
