Tiny Shield features

Monitor all connections

Tiny Shield keeps an eye on every connection your Mac makes or receives in real time. This helps you quickly identify suspicious activity so you can act before any problems arise.

Block websites or apps instantly

If you spot a website or app you don’t want, just select it and click to block. It’s fast to stop unwanted traffic and protect your Mac with Tiny Shield.

View traffic with clear charts and filters

See how much data your Mac is sending and receiving with simple traffic charts. You can filter the data by the last 24 hours, week, or custom timeframes, so you understand exactly what’s happening.

Identify connections by hostname

Instead of confusing IP addresses, Tiny Shield shows you easy-to-understand names like “netflix.com” or “google.com.” This makes it simple to figure out what your Mac is connecting to, so you can spot any problematic or unexpected sites quickly.

Stay notified with alerts

You can run Tiny Shield quietly in the background without opening the main window, so your Mac stays protected without slowing down your work or taking up space on your screen. If something suspicious or unexpected occurs, such as a new app trying to access the internet or an unusual connection, TinyShield will alert you immediately.

    Absolutely awful, it did the job well buit then all of the sudden it started consuming 20-40% of my CPU usage, it was nice seeing things but it needs to be HEAVILY optimised!

    meh. love the functionality but the app blocks restarts and won’t even close itself to allow Setapp to update it. Have to “Retry” restarts every time.
