Checked apps come first, newest check first. Never ordered by payment.

Privacy for your Mac. Lock apps and websites, hide apps, encrypt folders
From its maker: Cloak is a privacy app for macOS. Pick an app and it will not open without Touch ID or your password.
Cover sensitive info on your Mac while you screen share
From its maker: Scrim is a macOS screen privacy utility that creates persistent, floating overlay masks to hide sensitive on-screen content during screen sharing, presentations, livestreams, and demos. Built natively in Swift for macOS Sequoia, it runs entirely offline with zero telemetry.
Mac network monitor with optional threat blocking
Made by Philip SeifiWebsiteOn XKilobat watches your Mac's network connections and tells you which app, process or recognized coding agent is behind each one. It can block destinations on public malware, phishing and scam lists, and it can block trackers too.
Tracker blocking is free. Threat blocking and the agent guard need Pro, which is $29 once, with a 7-day trial. Its maker, Philip Seifi, is plain about the limits: it does not scan files, and a threat that is on no list can still get through.
The desktop app is proprietary, and a separate command line tool is open source under GPL-3.0. It runs on Apple silicon and Intel and needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
Look for who makes it, exactly what it monitors or blocks, and whether it is signed and notarized.
There is no single best one for everyone. MacPip lists 8: Invisible, Minim, Privatus, WiFiSpoof, Cookie, Cloak, Scrim, Kilobat. If you want it free, look at Scrim. If you would rather pay once than subscribe, look at Invisible. If you want it to run natively on Apple silicon, look at Minim. If you need it to work offline, as its maker says it does, look at Privatus.
By their makers' word or by our check: Invisible, Minim, Privatus, WiFiSpoof, Cookie, Scrim, Kilobat.
None yet. They say Check pending until they are checked.
Checked apps come first, newest check first, then the rest by when they were added. Payment never changes the order, and sponsored rows are labeled and kept apart.
