Hey Product Hunt community! I’m Yuriy, CTO of Nektony, and I’m thrilled to finally launch FireWally - a free Mac firewall powered by Apple Intelligence! We’ve spent years building Mac cleanup utilities and security apps, and one question kept coming up: Why is monitoring a Mac's outgoing network traffic so complicated? The default macOS firewall is basic, and the most powerful third-party tools are often too technical (or come with a hefty price tag) for everyday users. This leaves most Mac users vulnerable to apps "phoning home" and excessive, hidden data usage. We built FireWally to change that. What makes FireWally different? - Totally free. - Built for simplicity with a single-screen dashboard. - One-click blocking of unwanted apps from going online. - Smart explanations for app connections using Apple Intelligence. Give it a try and let us know what you think! We’ll be here all day answering every question and listening to your feedback.
