Hey Product Hunt! 👋🐋
I’m the maker of Whalewall, a native macOS firewall and network monitor for your Mac. Apps make connections in the background all day, but we don't see these connections. Whalewall makes that activity visible through a polished interface and gives you control over what gets through. Written in Swift, it’s built to feel right at home on your Mac.
Whalewall uses Apple Silicon’s AI capabilities with no setup required, helping you understand your network activity.
Here’s what you can do:
🌍 See the bigger picture. Explore connections on a live world map, with a traffic log showing which app connected where and whether it was allowed or blocked.
🛑 Block what you choose. Stop an app’s network access, block a specific domain, or create rules for destination countries.
🛡️ Block ads and malware. Filter connections to advertising and known malicious domains.
🔐 Use encrypted DNS. Protect your DNS queries with encryption for an extra layer of privacy.
🔔 Decide as connections happen. Get an alert when a connection has no matching rule, then allow or deny it temporarily or permanently. You can also automatically allow or block connections your rules don’t cover.
🍎 Stay in control across macOS. Monitor network activity from your menu bar, add macOS widgets, and access filtering controls through Control Center.
Privacy is part of the design: Whalewall contains no telemetry or tracking. Whalewall runs on macOS 15 and later.
I’d love to hear what you think!
