Every quote below is a Mac App Store review, in the words and the language it was written in.
All reviews come from the Mac App Store, where only an Apple account that has downloaded NetMute can leave one. They are quoted word for word; […] marks a passage left out, nothing else is changed. This is a selection, not the full list.

Features
Your apps. Your network rules.
Inspect connections, block destinations and manage data use in one place.
Per-App Firewall
Cut an app off from the internet with one switch, or let it through and block only the endpoints you don't want.
Quiet Mode
A third state next to off and ask: everything runs, every new connection is written down, and you decide the whole backlog later in one pass.
App X-Ray
Open any app and see who it talks to, how often, and how much it sends. Each one gets a privacy score.
Network Reports
Up to a year of traffic, by day, week and month. Stored on your Mac, exportable as CSV.
Network Profiles
A rule set for home, one for the office, one for hotel Wi-Fi. NetMute switches when the network does.
The macOS firewall only looks inward.
It controls incoming connections. What your apps send out on their own, it does not show. That is where NetMute starts.
