Objective Development
Network monitoring and productivity software for macOS.
Objective Development Software GmbH is an Austrian software company founded in 2004 that develops macOS applications focused on privacy, network monitoring, and productivity. Its product line addresses the need to see and control outgoing Internet connections, monitor microphone and camera access, and speed up common desktop tasks.
The main products are Little Snitch, a network monitor and personal application firewall that alerts on outgoing connections and lets users allow, deny, or automate them with rules; Little Snitch Mini, a simplified version that shows app connections and supports blocking individual connections or subscribing to community block lists; Micro Snitch, a menu bar utility that reports microphone and camera activity; LaunchBar, a keyboard-driven launcher for applications, documents, contacts, bookmarks, music, and search; and Internet Access Policy Viewer, which shows which applications have an Internet Access Policy and where they connect. Little Snitch also offers DNS encryption and dedicated firewall rules.
The products are aimed at Mac users with varying needs, from casual privacy protection to network analysis and keyboard-based productivity. Downloads are available for Little Snitch, Little Snitch Mini, and Internet Access Policy Viewer, while Micro Snitch and LaunchBar are listed with purchase options.
