About Radio Silence
Radio Silence stops chosen apps on a Mac from connecting to the internet. Its network monitor lists every connection in real time, including helper apps, background processes, daemons and XPC services, and any of them can be blocked with one click.
The firewall runs invisibly with no pop-ups and no menu bar icon, so it suits people who want to block specific apps rather than approve every connection. It requires macOS 10.15 or newer and runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
Strengths

Limitations
- macOS only
