This is a useful little app, but I wish it let you know exactly *what* information is being transmitted, rather than just notifying you. But, it's definitely worth having... and it's very effective alerting you to "phone-home" applications...though most apps are simply checking for updates which can be turned off in preferences. Easy interface. I like having it on my computer.

Since all Little Snitch does is to intercept an attempt by a program to establish an internet connection, there is not yet any information "being transmitted" and therefore no way to display such information.It might be useful to have this information captured if you allowed the connection to be made. Of course, by then whatever was being sent has been sent. You'd gain info at a loss of security.
