Notification Settings

Little Snitch notifies you about various events via macOS User Notifications. These settings give you fine control over which notifications to show and which to suppress.

Enable “Play Sound” Rules — Whether play a sound when a sound rule matches.
Enable “Show Notification” Rules — Whether to show a notification when a notification rule matches.
Automatic Profile Switching — Whether to notify when the current profile was changed automatically.
Blocklist or Rule Group Updates — Whether to notify on successful updates of blocklists and remote rule groups.
Failed Blocklist or Rule Group Updates — Whether to notify on failed updates of blocklists and remote rule groups.
Silent Mode Connections — Whether to notify when a new blue rule management button (see Silent mode) appears in Network Monitor.
Connection Alert Timeout — Whether to notify when an alert is automatically confirmed after timeout.
Denied Connections during macOS Update — Little Snitch cannot show connection alerts during a macOS update. It therefore denies all connections not covered by a rule — and notifies if enabled.
Ignored Simulated User Input — Little Snitch prevents remote control via assistive technologies for security reasons (can be disabled in security settings). In order to give a hint why an assistive technology failed, a notification is shown. Can be disabled with this setting.
