The record

Purpose: Little Snitch shows where a Mac connects to the Internet and lets the user allow or deny connections.
Connection alerts: When an app wants to connect to the Internet, Little Snitch can show an alert so the user can allow or deny the connection.
Network analysis: Its Network Monitor analyzes network activity in real time and displays details such as data volumes, server locations, ports, and protocols.
Traffic history: The interactive traffic chart can show current and past network activity for up to twelve months.
Blocklists: Little Snitch offers curated blocklists with daily updates and supports IP-based blocklists.
DNS encryption: It encrypts DNS requests using DoH, DoT, or DoQ and names Quad9 as an example of a trusted DNS service.
Rule management: Users can organize rules into groups and profiles, including groups subscribed from a remote server, and switch profiles automatically based on network environments.
Command line: The command line utility can change settings, export rules, respond to alerts, and log allow or deny events.
Process identification: Processes can be identified by cryptographic code signature regardless of file path, with file-path identification available as an option.
Trial: The 30-day trial has the same protection and functionality as the full version, but the Network Monitor expires after 30 days; demo mode runs for three hours at a time and can be restarted.
Compatibility: The download page lists Little Snitch 6.5 as compatible with macOS 27 Golden Gate, Tahoe, Sequoia, and Sonoma.
Download integrity: Objective Development provides a codesign command to verify the downloaded disk image and says not to open it if the signature check reports an error.
License limits: A Family License permits use on up to five computers in one household for non-commercial use.
Privacy practices: The maker says Little Snitch 5 uses a built-in database for information about third-party programs instead of querying an external database.
