This ZDNET article reviews Firewally, a free macOS menu-bar app that provides per-app internet access controls, real-time traffic views (Hourly/Real Time/Today), default policy settings (Pass/Ask/Deny), and optional AI-generated app summaries; the author recommends using the Ask default and selectively disabling internet access for apps (e.g., Ollama) to improve privacy and control.
