Which app connects where, the destination’s country, city and network provider, and how much data it sends.
macOS early preview
Your apps, your call
Pavu watches what the apps on your Mac do online and what changes on your system, alerts you when something looks risky, and lets you block a program's new connections. Everything is analyzed on your Mac.

PRODUCT
See it, know it, decide
The macOS preview shows what your apps do, flags behavior worth checking, tells you right away, and lets you act.
Spot risky behavior
Built-in rules check network activity and changes to your system. If a rule lacks the data it needs, Pavu says so instead of reporting “safe”.
Get told right away
New findings arrive as macOS notifications, with the reasons and the evidence behind each one.
Stay in control
Block a program’s new connections, or turn on automatic blocking for a rule; programs that come with macOS are never blocked. Every decision can be undone.

PAVU OBSERVES
- Which app connects to which destination
- When it connects and how much data it sends
- Launch items, listening ports, system extensions and security settings
PAVU NEVER COLLECTS
- The contents of your files or messages
- Passwords, cookies, or sign-in tokens
- Network traffic contents: it never decrypts your traffic
Nothing is uploaded. Activity history stays on your Mac and is kept for 24 hours by default. You can pause monitoring or clear it.
Locations come from a database built into the app, so IP addresses are never sent anywhere; Pavu only downloads its monthly update, which you can switch to manual. IP location data by DB-IP.com (CC BY 4.0).
