## About

FlowSense shows every connection your Mac makes and names the app or service behind it, using the same deep packet inspection carriers run, sized down to one laptop. It recognises about 900 apps and services without decrypting anything.

Then it acts. Warden, its on-device AI model, looks at new and unusual traffic and asks you whether to block it, slow it or leave it alone, with a one-line reason and an undo. Ask FlowSense questions in plain words ("what was uploading at 3am?") by chat or voice. Through MCP, Claude, ChatGPT/Codex, Cursor and VS Code can query and control your network too.

Everything is analysed on your Mac. Free to look around, with a 7-day full trial.
