Apple Intelligence–powered insights help you understand why apps connect and whether they’re safe, making FireWally a smart, intuitive way to protect your privacy and take control of your network.
@yuriy_varbanets Genius idea, congrats!
Wow, FireWally looks incredible! Im loving the Apple Intelligence-powered safety insights. How granular can you get with blocking connections for specific processes within an app?
@jaydev13 Thanks a lot for the kind words — great to hear you liked the Apple-Intelligence-powered insights!
Right now, FireWally tracks and manages network activity only at the app level. The first version of the app doesn't calculate traffic on a per-process basis.
Your suggestion is valuable — we’ll add it to our wishlist.
If you have more ideas, we’d love to hear them!
This is really cool. Just installed and setup. Might be more advanced but would love to see a log of the connections if it's possible. For example, I use Opal once/twice a month for calls and I realized it's been phoning home for some reason even though it's not actively being used.
@nkotov Thanks for checking out FireWally and for the kind words — really appreciate it!
Your suggestion about having a history of app activity is very interesting. We’ll add it to our wishlist.
If you have more ideas or feedback, feel free to share!
FireWally is live! 🙌 So happy for the team and proud to be on this journey together. Congrats!
Congratulations on the launch! Have you thought about adding AI monitoring for processes and applications? That is, your software sees activity for the first time, checks it online, and highlights it in yellow/red if something is wrong. Even if your app doesn’t know the process and can’t identify it.
This way you would have: 1. A product with AI, which is trendy right now 2. A genuinely useful feature 3. Any known threat would be easy to detect
@mykyta_semenov_ Thanks for the congratulations and for the thoughtful suggestion — much appreciated.
We agree this is an interesting direction and a potentially helpful approach, and we’ll definitely explore it further.
Always great to hear ideas from someone with strong AI expertise.
Great work by the whole team — proud to be a part of it!
So proud of our team and this launch! FireWally is a huge milestone. 🚀
