NetBlocker is a deliberately simple outbound firewall for Apple silicon Macs. Drag an app into the list to block its new network connections. NetBlocker also discovers and displays related helpers, XPC services and background processes, so one rule covers more than the visible app. There are no connection-by-connection popups, accounts or subscriptions. It includes a 7-day free trial, costs €4.99 once and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I built NetBlocker because I wanted a very specific kind of Mac firewall: choose the apps that should stay offline, without approving every connection as it appears.
The workflow is deliberately small:
• drag an app into NetBlocker
• related helpers and background processes are discovered and shown
• new network connections from that app group are blocked
• remove the app whenever you want to restore access
This is not intended to replace Little Snitch’s network monitor or per-domain rules. It is for people who want a focused block list with a native Mac interface and no subscription.
NetBlocker runs on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 13 or later. It is signed and notarized by Apple. There is a 7-day trial with no card, followed by a €4.99 lifetime license and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
I would especially value feedback on the first-run setup and on apps that use unusual helper processes. I’m happy to answer any technical or product questions.
