There is no GlassWire for Mac. GlassWire is available for Windows and Android only (checked October 2026). On a Mac, LightAtom covers the part most people loved — seeing which apps use the network, how much and where it goes — with a live connections view, per-app data, a map and the domain names behind each connection. For GlassWire's blocking side, add a Mac firewall like LuLu or Little Snitch.
Who this is for
- You moved from Windows to a Mac and miss GlassWire's per-app usage view.
- You run both and want similar visibility on your Mac.
- You searched for “GlassWire for Mac” and found only the Windows download.

When to stay with GlassWire
If you also use Windows PCs, keep GlassWire there; it's a polished monitor and firewall for Windows. On macOS it simply isn't an option.
How to switch
- Install LightAtom for per-app traffic, connections and the map.
- If you used GlassWire's firewall, add LuLu (free) or Little Snitch for blocking.
- Use macOS's Activity Monitor › Network for a quick built-in view of bytes per process.
